UNIVERSAL ADVANCED Earth Observation Data Access and Misuse Prevention Project Acronym: UAEODAMP

PROBLEM: The earth observation data access and misuse prevention gap is operational: thousands of active satellites share orbits and spectrum, yet the record of who is where, who may transmit, and who is responsible is scattered across agencies and companies. A shared governed record is the missing piece, not another sensor.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would orchestrate earth observation data access and misuse prevention as a repeatable workflow with explicit checks at each stage, requiring the governing record to be updated before an operation is treated as complete. It designs the process and the record, not the orbit.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — the U.S. Space Force's 18th Space Defense Squadron tracks tens of thousands of orbital objects, and the International Telecommunication Union coordinates satellite spectrum; debris and collision risk are documented operational problems. Source: U.S. Space Force; ITU Radio Regulations.
