Matt Hejduk, senior project lead at The Aerospace Corporation which worked with OSC on the study, explained in an interview with Breaking Defense on Monday that the goal of the study was to look for ways to fix the looming problem of different national or regional space situational awareness (SSA) systems for determining where things are, and are going, on orbit resulting in divergent predictions about the likelihood of an in-space smash up.
