This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product SSA space hazard programme. Computer artwork showing how radars, telescopes and networks on the ground can work in unison to detect space hazards, such as debris in orbit, harmful space weather and near-Earth objects. This programme, known as SSA (Space Situational Awareness), is being used to help Europe detect hazards to critical space infrastructure.
