Orbital Data Request Process

1. The following process should be used to request Space Situational Awareness (SSA) support (i.e., requests for redistribution of TLEs and analysis, request for launch support and request for Conjunction Assessment (CA)). Requests for SSA support will be vetted and approved as follows:
  PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN ORBITAL DATA REQUEST FORM, A CUSTOMER MUST ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH UNITED STATES STRATEGIC COMMAND (USSTRATCOM) PLANS AND POLICY DIRECTORATE (J5)
 
a. The requester will enter into an agreement with USSTRATCOM. This agreement prohibits the requesting organization from redistributing SSA data without Department of Defense (DoD) approval. Please send an e-mail to the USSTRATCOM point of contact at j513@stratcom.mil or call (402) 232-7256 to request an agreement. Once an agreement has been completed, the customer will request SSA support using the Orbital Data Request (ODR) Form (DOC, PDF)
