Enhancing Space Situational Awareness (SSA) through Cloud Forecasting
Executive Summary The rapid expansion of satellites, mega-constellations, and orbital debris is increasing the importance of Space Situational Awareness. As space becomes more crowded, operators require better tracking, collision avoidance, and environmental monitoring capabilities. The article highlights how cloud observation and forecasting enhance ground-based SSA performance, enabling more efficient telescope scheduling, improved observation quality, reduced operational costs, and greater automation of optical ground
