Bill overview
The SAFE Orbit Act establishes a new system for space situational awareness and traffic coordination. It elevates the Office of Space Commerce to a standalone bureau within the Department of Commerce, authorizing it to acquire and disseminate data on space objects and debris. The bureau will provide free, public access to a database of space object information and offer basic space situational awareness services to satellite operators, while prioritizing commercial data sources. The bill also includes provisions for immunity from lawsuits related to these services and establishes definitions for key terms like space situational awareness and orbital debris.
