In January 2019 Poland has become a member of the European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST) consortium. Under the management of the Polish Space Agency, a national Space Situational Awareness Centre (SSAC-PL) is being established. SSAC-PL will be responsible for operational obligations of Poland due to its EU SST membership and will fulfill national goals. The current network of Polish SSA assets consists of nearly 20 globally distributed optical sensors and one laser ranging station. Several more sensors are under development and should become operational in the time frame 2019-2021. Sensor and processing capabilities are provided to SSAC-PL by several academic and industrial entities. We will review the current state of SSAC-PL, its capabilities and progress that has been made in the sensor and processing domain over the last two years.
