THE SQUADRON
In December 2023, UK Space Command allocated squadron status to the 1 Space Operations Squadron.
1 Space Operations Squadron is a UK Space Command unit embedded within the National Space Operations Centre.
The National Space Operations Centre combines and coordinates civil and military Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities. SDA – the ability to understand and respond to what is happening in space – underpins all space activities and is a critical requirement for delivering a wide range of UK civil and military space objectives.
