Operators

An operator is an entity that operates satellites in orbit. Operators in our system may be populated based on users that are submitting ephemerides to the platform, or publicly-available information we have synchronized from other sources.

An operator is identified by a UUID as well as a unique human-readable name.

If you have a space-track.org account and would like us to automatically sync your operator information from there, let us know.

An operator is given a maximum number of objects that they are allowed to create in the system; this is to guard against client misconfigurations. Contact SpaceX if you need to manage more objects than your account currently allows.
