U.S. Air Force Space Command plans to use previously untapped data sources to improve its understanding of satellite activity in Earth orbit. The effort, known as Talon Red Cloud, could help offload some of the monitoring requirements for existing sensors in the space surveillance network, according to command officials. The idea is to use reliable data from other government agencies and trusted commercial companies about the location and movement of their satellites. By relying on data from trusted sources about spacecraft not likely to be of military concern, Air Force Space Command would then be able to focus its limited sensor suites on watching other objects, according to Col. Robert Wright, director of Air Force Space Command's Space Innovation and Development Center.
