Background Summary:

The Office of Space Commerce (OSC), is developing the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) to fulfill Space Policy Directive 3 (SPD-3). SPD-3 instructed relevant US government agencies to begin re-assigning many aspects of space traffic management (STM) and space traffic coordination (STC) serving non-military US space operators. OSC, under the US Department of Commerce (DOC), was identified to lead many of these efforts as part of a 'whole of government' approach.

TraCSS is the Office of Space Commerce's cloud-based enterprise solution for ingesting, archiving, processing, and disseminating Space Situational Awareness (SSA) data and products. It will provide conjunction analysis and warning services to commercial satellite owner/operators to foster economic growth and technological advancement of the US commercial space industry. The system will store data from the Department of Defense (DoD), NOAA, commercial SSA data providers, commercial and civil satellite Owner/Operators (O/O), and select international civil partners. The TraCSS system will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Work Environment and Physical Demands:

• Work in a typical onsite government office building full time (5-days per week) with situational telework approved as needed.
• Occasional deadlines or operational conditions may require non-standard/longer hours or additional onsite support.
• Infrequent travel required.
