This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. The Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of submissions or of the information received, or to provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted under this announcement.

This Sources Sought seeks information on commercially available space surveillance systems that provide timely and accurate Space Domain Awareness (SDA) data specifically for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) regime, delivered directly to mission applications. The goal is to identify systems offering sensors as a service with the critical capability for individual sensor tasking directly from a pre-existing US Government mission application layer.

Company and System Background and Information

Please enter at most 500 characters

Company Overview: Provide a brief overview of your company and its experience in providing commercial space situational awareness data and services, particularly highlighting experience with LEO-focused "Sensors-as-a-Service" models, sensor tasking capabilities for LEO, and a strong focus on data quality and timeliness in the LEO domain. *

11.

Please enter at most 2000 characters

System Description: Describe your commercial space surveillance system, including its capabilities, sensor network composition (highlighting LEO-specific sensors), locations, data processing techniques, and key performance metrics specifically for LEO. Emphasize how the system ensures data accuracy and reliability in the challenging LEO environment.

The following are provided as points of reference:

Orbit Period - Data collection for LEO orbits with a range of altitudes are preferable, including sub-orbital, highly elliptical (perigee below 100km), vLEO, and near-circular with periods <225 minutes.

Orbit Inclination - Data collection for LEO orbits with a range of inclinations are preferable, including low-inclination and polar orbits.

Sensor Coverage Gaps - Data collection from locations that are poorly covered by the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) are preferable, e.g. southern hemisphere.

Data from all parts of a LEO orbit are desired, e.g. daytime, terminator, and eclipse.

Diverse metric data (all parts of a LEO orbit) is desirable. *
