We’re pleased to welcome our 2026 summer interns to COMSPOC. This group brings a range of skills, perspectives, and interests to their work with COMSPOC: 🔹 Satvik Agrawal – @LifeAtPurdue 🔹 Marina Anderson – @UVA 🔹 Sean Bohne - @LifeAtPurdue 🔹 Dylan Cave – @cwru 🔹 Michael Dougherty – @CatholicUniv 🔹 Kaitlyn Hess – @UofMaryland 🔹 Ethan Poley – @penn_state 🔹 Samantha Resneck – @penn_state 🔹 Dhruv Sharma – @LifeAtPurdue Recent Conestoga HS graduates 🔹 Juanita Bhatia 🔹 Ridhima Parnati They’ll work alongside our team and gain practical experience in our space situational awareness software and operations. Welcome to COMSPOC!

COMSPOC CEO Paul Graziani will speak at the 9th Prague Space Security Conference on Monday, June 15, at 8:35 a.m., joining Panel 1 to discuss strategic stability in an era of asymmetric threats. COMSPOC is proud to be a sponsor of this year’s conference, hosted by @pssi_prague from June 14-16. Titled “Space Races Reimagined: Lunar Ambitions, Ground-Based Competition, and Principled Governance,” the event will focus on strategic competition with China, its rapidly advancing cislunar and lunar ambitions, and the need for principled space stewardship.

COMSPOC is attending the SSA Operators’ Workshop, hosted by @SpaceNav2, June 2-5 in Boulder, Colorado. This workshop brings satellite operators together to share best practices and support safer spaceflight operations. COMSPOC Senior Research Astrodynamicist Sal Alfano will present “Alternative Risk Metrics - PcMax” on Tuesday, June 2, from 9:50 to 10:05 a.m. Senior Research Astrodynamicist Dave Vallado will also be attending. Thank you to SpaceNav for hosting this workshop.

COMSPOC CEO Paul Graziani joined Laura Todd of @SpaceWatchGL TV to discuss orbit characterization, maneuver detection, and why "it probably won't happen to me" is dangerous thinking. Tracked objects have increased from about 25,000 to 35,000 in the past year, and as Paul noted, handling all of that data becomes a significant operator load. It comes down to a central question: “How can I see what I really need to worry about?” Watch the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=_DM3h-Dn… Thank you, Laura and SpaceWatch Global TV, for the discussion.

The access and overflight tools in SSASuite’s Mission Awareness Services (MAS) bring different parts of space operations into one analysis framework. Operators can evaluate space-to-ground coverage of assets that provide position, navigation and timing (PNT), ISR, and SSA, as well as space-to-space coverage of SSA satellites and ground-to-space coverage of ground-based sensors. These tools also enable operators to model electromagnetic interference effects on any of these systems to determine coverage impacts. Learn more about MAS: comspoc.com/ssasuite#mas

Congratulations to Chile on the inauguration of the National Space Center (CEN) last week, a major milestone in the country’s space program. Operated by @FACh_Chile (FACh), the new center strengthens Chile’s ability to develop satellites and independently process and analyze strategic data. These photos, shared by FACh, show COMSPOC’s SSASuite and Spacebook in use as they demonstrated their new ops center to an audience comprising international delegations and senior leadership.

To reconstruct specific encounters that their reporters discussed with military leaders for this article, the Post relied on data and analysis produced by @COMSPOC_OPS, using our enterprise SSA solution, SSASuite. Through this collaboration, the Post has brought these complex events vividly to life for their readers to appreciate. “There are a lot of activities that are on a vector toward levels of hostility,” COMSPOC CEO Paul Graziani is quoted as saying. COMSPOC's SSASuite offers military-grade SSA analysis capabilities in a turnkey, commercial off-the-shelf package. As the Washington Post has demonstrated today, now is the time to take serious action toward protecting your space assets.

We're excited to welcome our 2025 summer interns to COMSPOC! These students bring energy, talent, and a shared commitment to advancing space situational awareness: 🔹 Ava Anderson, @NotreDame 🔹 Kaitlyn Hess, Conestoga High School 🔹 Kellen Martin, @IowaStateU 🔹 Paulo Ramirez, @PurdueAeroAstro 🔹 Dhruv Sharma, @PurdueAeroAstro 🔹 Grace Sheehan, @UW 🔹 Evan Yan, @DrexelUniv (co-op) We welcome them to the team and look forward to supporting their growth through hands-on exposure to computer systems, software, and SSA operations.

The @COMSPOC_OPS team was featured in @Newsweek for detecting a close approach between U.S. and Chinese military satellites. 🎥 Watch the clip and read the full article: newsweek.com/us-china-news-m…

We’re live at @SpaceFoundation’s #40thSpaceSymposium! Stop by booth #628 in the south hall to meet the COMPSOC team, including CEO Paul Graziani, and see demos of SSASuite — our turnkey, on-premises operations center software — and Spacebook — the next evolution of on-demand online SSA information. #SpaceSymposium #Spacebook #SpaceSituationalAwareness
