The Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) Support Framework was established by the European Union in 2014 with the Decision 541/2014/EU of the European Parliament and the Council (SST Decision). This Decision foresaw the creation of an SST Consortium currently composed of seven EU Member States – France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain. SST refers to the capacity to detect, catalogue and predict the movements of space objects orbiting the Earth.Since 2016, the SST Consortium and the European Union Satellite Centre (SatCen) have worked together to develop a European SST capability, and formed the SST Cooperation. The Consortium's Member States have networked their assets to provide, through the SST Service Provision Portal operated by SatCen, a set of SST services to all EU countries, EU institutions, spacecraft owners and operators, and civil protection authorities.The SST services assess the risk of in-orbit collisions and uncontrolled re-entry of space debris into the Earth's atmosphere, and detect and characterise in-orbit fragmentations.The SST Consortium EU Member States are represented through their national designated entities: France (CNES), Germany (German Space Agency at DLR), Italy (ASI), Poland (POLSA), Portugal (PT MoD), Romania (ROSA) and Spain (CDTI).The EU SST activities have received funding from the European Union programmes, notably from the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreements No 952852, No 785257, No 760459, No 713630 and No 713762, and the Copernicus and Galileo programme under grant agreements No 299/G/GRO/COPE/19/11109, No 237/G/GRO/COPE/16/8935 and No 203/G/GRO/COPE/15/7987.
