Satellite Collision-Avoidance Data Could Aid Adversaries

Original: The Data That Keeps Satellites From Colliding Can Also Help Adversaries Target Them

That openness could allow adversaries to track and potentially target satellites, exposing a tension between space safety cooperation and national security concerns.

Why now: Rising geopolitical tensions in space have renewed scrutiny of how openly orbital data is shared.
