A visual timeline titled “TraCSS Integrated Program Schedule” outlines key milestones, program increments, operational phases, and partner engagements from Q1 FY25 to Q4 FY26. The top section shows the number of active users and satellites increasing from 9 users and 1081 satellites to over 100 users and 10,000+ satellites. Key milestones include MVP, ATO, Production Release, and Horizon MASTER MVP. Program increments are labeled 1.1 through 1.7, including features like On-demand O/O Ephemeris Screening, Presentation Layer, and QA/IV&V. Operational plans move from Beta and Suitland Ops to Boulder-based Production Ops. Below that, R&D efforts and engagements with partners like Space Force, EUSST, DARPA, and various government and commercial stakeholders are detailed through labeled tracks and icons indicating meetings, studies, tools, and pilot programs. The graphic includes logos for NOAA and the U.S. Department of Commerce and is marked “For Public Release – July 2025.”
"2025 TraCSS Capability Roadmap" outlines five program increments (PI 1.0 to PI 1.4) with key milestones from September 2024 through December 2025.
