Codified in law, NOAA is tasked with Space Traffic Management, the orbital analog to what the FAA provides for aviation.
. In the SPD-3, the National Space Council acknowledged its “limited traffic management activity and architecture that will become inadequate” and tasked Commerce to create an “open architecture data repository” to provide basic space situational awareness data and timely tracking of orbiting objects. The open architecture approach was meant to enable the strengths of the competitive commercial space industry.
Commerce made some progress on OADR and attracted a few hundred companies providing a wide range of SSA services. As it turns out, the American industry had services available immediately that were ready to make the transition and provide SSA data. The SPD-3 set a clear path forward, the Space Force is eager to divest manpower and funding, and the entire American space industry is waiting in the wings – but Commerce has not budged in a meaningful way.
Real progress came to a halt in 2021 when NOAA allocated no portion of its 2021 budget for commercial STM services or OADAR support, opting instead to spend the funds on more long-term studies on topics that the agency had already investigated.
