The space data association (SDA), an association of global satellite operators working to ensure a controlled, reliable, and efficient space environment, has run a survey among its members to gather data on their Conjunction Assessment concept of ope

There have been several recent high-profile space events, notably the conjunctions of the Aeolus and Starlink spacecraft (both maneuverable) and the IRAS and GGSE-4 spacecraft (both dead). Here, we examine the timeline, activities, and risks associat

Purpose This article explores the estimated collision risk for earth-orbiting spacecraft; the far-reaching effects of collisions and explosions; and the factors and challenges in obtaining timely, accurate, comprehensive, and transparent positional a

Presented here is a planning and characterization tool to estimate satellite encounter rates for a prospective orbit regime. The prescribed method can be used to estimate the satellite conjunction operational tempo (i.e., the pace of conjunction acti

Knowing the likelihood of collision for satellites operating in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) is of extreme importance and interest to the global community and the operators of GEO spacecraft. Yet for all of its importance, a comprehensive assessm

This paper extends concepts of signal detection theory to predict the performance of conjunction screening techniques and guiding the selection of keepout and screening thresholds. The most efficient way to identify satellites likely to collide is to

Relative motion improvements have traditionally focused on inserting additional force models into existing formulations to achieve greater fidelity, or complex expansions to admit eccentric orbits for propagation. A simpler approach may be numericall

To reduce processing time, satellite-conjunction prediction tools often employ methods to decrease the number of objects for consideration. Various economizing filters are used to identify orbiting pairs that cannot come close enough over a prescribe

Probability of collision ( P c ) is becoming more popular as a tool to assess conjunction threats. In this paper, an overview of the types of P c estimation techniques is provided. For each technique, the inputs it requires are delineated. Three-dime
