SpaceX opens the door to "sharing" its spacecraft tracking data with its "StarGaze" Space Situational Awareness (SSA) system.
Stargaze aggregates data from ~ 30,000 star trackers distributed across the StarLink satellite fleet to generate accurate orbit estimates and predictions of position and velocity for all detected objects in near real-time and the system generates Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs).
SpaceX will make Stargaze conjunction data available to any satellite operator (free of charge) that submits its own ephemeris (trajectory) data to the platform. Stargaze ephemeris is updated and shared publicly every hour.
BIG question: How long will Stargaze be "free of charge" ??? https://news.satnews.com/2026/02/18/spacex-unveils-stargaze-system-to-revolutionize-space-traffic-management/
