In the context of the EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) Support Framework, the SST Cooperation organised the online 2nd EU SST Webinar: “Operations in Space Surveillance and Tracking”, which took place on 16 November 2020 from 14:00 to 17:00 hrs. CET.

This webinar presented the EU SST latest developments and how the different Operations Centres and the SST Front Desk are currently working for providing the SST services – Collision Avoidance, Re-entry Analysis, and Fragmentation Analysis. Potential collisions in space, major space objects break-ups and re-entries were presented, and SST experts answered questions from the participants. The webinar included as well the special participation of EUMETSAT, the European Commission, with DG DEFIS and DG ECHO, and the European External Action Service, with the Space Task Force.

More than 450 participants attended the second edition of the EU SST Webinar.
