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.”
TraCSS Integrated Program Schedule
"2025 TraCSS Capability Roadmap" outlines five program increments (PI 1.0 to PI 1.4) with key milestones from September 2024 through December 2025. PI 1.0 (Sep. 2024) includes ingestion of DoD catalog and orbit data, CA screening, generation and posting of Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs), initial govcloud deployment, and infrastructure setup. PI 1.1 (Dec. 2024) highlights the award of the Presentation Layer contract, API access to CDMs, on-demand ephemeris screening, and expanded CA screening with beta user data. PI 1.2 (May 2025) includes agile govcloud deployment, cessation of CDM postings to space-track.org, and beta testing of the Presentation Layer across operations and public displays. PI 1.3 (Sep. 2025) focuses on full production environment deployment, user migration, and IV&V testing. PI 1.4 (Dec. 2025) emphasizes continuous improvement of the Presentation Layer, onboarding of pilot owner/operators (O/Os), and the release of new data products such as DoD TIPs, breakup notifications, TLE access, and TraCSS Conjunction Notices (TCNs), along with risk assessment support services. NOAA and U.S. Department of Commerce logos appear in the top right, with a note at the bottom stating “For Public Release – July 2025.”

A systems diagram titled “TraCSS Post-Production Release Architecture” outlines data flow from sources to end users. On the left, a green panel labeled “Data Sources” lists inputs including: DoD High Accuracy Catalog DoD Releasable Data Catalog Space Sensor Network International Data Sources Commercial Sensors Commercial Data Sources Satellites O/O Satellite Ephemeris Data Space Weather Sensors Environmental Data Other Data (TBD) These data streams flow into two platforms: TraCSS Oasis and TraCSS Skyline, which each support three functions: Production Instantiation HORIZON Dev Test Instantiation HORIZON MASTER These functions feed into a central User Interface via a Presentation Layer and APIs, enabling access for: Commercial Advanced Services Satellite Owner/Operators (O/Os) Other Stakeholders Arrows represent data flow between components, and the NOAA and U.S. Department of Commerce logos are displayed in the top-right corner. A footer notes, “For Public Release – July 2025.”
