The 19th AMOS Conference was the largest in its history bringing together representatives from government, industry, and academia to discuss the rapid changes in the field of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Traffic Management (STM). The SSA community is growing globally, evident in the number and proportion of international attendees at the annually-held AMOS Conference, one of the principal technical conferences in SSA. Over 840 attendees from 23 countries participated in the strong technical program. Keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical short courses, exhibits and poster presentations addressed the growing number of space operators, the move to commercial activities, and the importance of balancing commercial innovation with national security and international relations.
