Our Mission &
Initiatives

CSSMA seeks to create the conditions for a coordinated, transparent, and expedited spectrum coordination processes. From commercial smallsat spectrum users, government users, and other satellite operators to terrestrial users, continued communication and learning is key to efficient use of spectrum.
CSSMA advocates and represents members’ view on spectrum management and other policy matters that affect the smallsat community. We gather commercial smallsat operators and regulators worldwide to interact meaningfully through working groups, pre-coordination meetings, and other events and initiatives organized for and with our members.

WHY CSSMA?

Many commercial small satellite operators use radiofrequency spectrum on a "non-exclusive" basis, i.e., the spectrum may be used by other satellite or terrestrial operators, including government agencies such as U.S. Federal agencies. The shared use of spectrum involves conducting interference analyses and extensive coordination, most of which must be completed as part of the regulatory licensing process. If you are a current or prospective commercial smallsat operator seeking to understand and impact the spectrum world around you, we welcome you to join the Commercial Satellite Spectrum Management Association (CSSMA).

  • Launch & ground stations service providers
  • Space policy advocates
  • Legal practitioners & Technical consultants
  • Trade Associations, Universities, Non-Profits
