August 18, 2015 | The Israel Defense Ministry Space Administration and the US Strategic Command signed a cooperation agreement to prevent satellites and other objects from colliding in space. The Space Situational Awareness data-sharing agreement is set to encourage Israel and US to work together in securing methods that will prevent collisions in space. The US has similar agreements with other countries: Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Italy, Japan and Australia, among others. The agreement is important due to the growing density of traffic, and potential collisions, in space.
