In November 2024, Slingshot Aerospace was selected to develop the interface for the US Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS). With the FY2026 budget still under discussion in the US, funding to support TraCSS is up in the air. Slingshot Aerospace has joined more than 450 companies, represented by seven leading space industry associations including the Commercial SSA Coalition, to support funding for the Office of Space Commerce’s space traffic coordination mission. We spoke to Audrey Schaffer, VP of Strategy and Policy at Slingshot Aerospace about why so many commercial companies support a federal space traffic system.

You can connect with Audrey on LinkedIn, and learn more about Slingshot Aerospace on their website.
