In this DataVerse we publish datasets related to the ASTRIAGraph project. ASTRIAGraph is a framework that enables monitoring, assessment, and verification of space-actor-behavior in the context of legal and policy instruments. The goal of ASTRIAGraph is to achieve space safety, security, and sustainability. It supports Anthropogenic Space Objects (ASOs) visualization and tracking, as well as space traffic management queries through a publicly-accessible web platform.
ASTRIAGraph is supported by a NEO4J graph database where multiple private and public data sources of space domain information are automatically ingested, curated, organized, integrated, and analyzed to solve scientific inquiries relevant to Space Domain Awareness (SDA). Data organization is based on a data model designed in relation to scientific case studies contributed by the community of researchers, policy makers, and the public interested in SDA. Amongst the scientific case studies supported by ASTRIAGraph are: orbital determination of ASO's, identification of GEO satellite disposal in compliance with international regulations, and compliance with registration requirements of the United Nations (UN) Office for Outer Space Affairs.
Led by Dr. Moriba Jah (https://sites.utexas.edu/moriba/about/), the interdisciplinary research team is formed by faculty, researchers, and students from the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics (https://www.ae.utexas.edu/) and from the Texas Advanced Computing Center (https://www.tacc.utexas.edu) at the University of Texas at Austin.
