Hi All -- and with apologies for being slightly off the reservation regarding posting rules. This is good news -- especially considering that the Air Force may in the future restrict orbital data more tightly than they do now. The international community needs to build multinational or at least independent space surveillance capabilities in the future, not just for debris monitoring/collision avoidance but also for possible arms control purposes as more countries weigh the option of weapons in space. That's also why groups like SeeSat are important!

Just my option. http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=da4bb652-aef4 -4f4e-b1e6-fdd7501214df But at least it will help to track all the stuff in orbit.
