The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Space Commerce (OSC), Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) is being developed to fulfill the 2018 US National Space Council released Space Policy Directive[1]3 (SPD-3), which 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. This was identified as a ‘whole of government’ approach, and the organization identified to lead many of the efforts was NOAA OSC, in the US Department of Commerce (DOC). TraCSS is the Department of Commerce's enterprise solution for ingesting, archiving, processing, and disseminating Space Situational Awareness (SSA) data and products. TraCSS will provide conjunction analysis and warning services to commercial satellite owner/operators to foster economic growth and technological advancement of the U.S. 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, among other possible data sources. The TraCSS system will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

The candidate for this position will be part of the team that provides TraCSS technical engineering and operations support services to include, but not limited to administrative support, program management, engineering services, and mission operations technical support to the OSC. The candidate must have knowledge of space domain awareness, space situational awareness (SSA), space traffic coordination (STC), or space traffic management (STM) related topics. Examples of desired knowledge and skill sets may include, but are not limited to: orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, common analytical methodologies utilized in SSA/STC/STM, satellite operations, conjunction analysis, and data management.

The contractor will be responsible for developing, delivering, updating and documenting the training procedures and processes for the operations team. The training coordinator will work with the relevant DoD communities to leverage existing training materials, where applicable to establish the TraCSS training curriculum. Working with the Operations lead and system engineering (SE) lead, the contractor will establish the cadence of training, including the training necessary to onboard new personnel and refresher training on a TBD basis.
