美国太空军已与埃隆·马斯克旗下的SpaceX达成协议，授予其更高权限访问美国太空司令部的高精度目录和矢量协方差信息，这些数据可提供精确到10厘米的空间目标轨道追踪信息。作为交换，军方将获得来自SpaceX卫星搭载的Stargaze追踪网络的数据。
US Space Force Grants SpaceX Access to Sensitive Orbital Tracking Data in Exchange for Commercial Sensor Inputs The US Space Force has entered into an agreement granting Elon Musk's SpaceX enhanced access to the US Space Command's High Accuracy Catalog and Vector Covariance Messages, which provide precision orbital tracking data on space objects down to 10 centimeters. In exchange, the military receives data from SpaceX's satellite-mounted Stargaze tracking network.
该安排是在特朗普政府多次提议削减民用空间交通协调系统资金之后达成的。业界批评人士和政府问责监督机构表示担忧，认为该协议可能导致空间交通协调私有化，造成供应商锁定，并为SpaceX创造市场优势。与此同时，防务观察人士指出涉及军事追踪能力的潜在安全敏感性，而另一些人则认为SpaceX正在填补联邦空间治理不足留下的运作空白。
The arrangement follows repeated Trump administration proposals to defund the civilian Traffic Coordination System for Space (Traccs). Industry critics and government accountability watchdogs express concern that the deal risks privatizing space traffic coordination, establishes vendor lock-in, and creates market advantages for SpaceX. Meanwhile, defense observers note potential security sensitivities regarding military tracking capabilities, while others argue SpaceX is filling an operational void left by inadequate federal space governance.
