4x Faster Manoeuvre Screening: Neuraspace's Solution

Space traffic management is becoming increasingly complex as the number of satellites in orbit continues to grow.

A critical component of safe space operations is the ability to quickly and accurately screen planned manoeuvres for potential conjunctions.

Traditionally, this process has been time-consuming, often requiring up to 8 hours (Space Track offers 4 hours for “special” and 8 hours screening time for “operational” OEMs), which can significantly hinder operational planning.

The Challenge

Spacecraft operators face a significant hurdle when planning manoeuvres. Current industry standards for manoeuvre screening, such as those offered by Space-Track can take up to 8 hours. This delay is particularly problematic for operators who need to plan manoeuvres on short notice.

A high-risk conjunction identified after a manoeuvre is executed leaves limited time for replanning, potentially endangering the satellite.

Manoeuvre Screening from Neuraspace in Under 2 Hours

To address this critical challenge, Neuraspace has developed a solution that accelerates the manoeuvre screening process.

Our Space Traffic Management platform incorporates a sophisticated screening algorithm capable of analysing planned manoeuvres against our comprehensive space object catalogue in under 2 hours.

Key benefits of our solution

• Speed or reduced screening time
  Complete manoeuvre screening in under 2 hours compared to industry standards of 4-8 hours.
• Efficiency
  Conduct the entire conjunction analysis and mitigation  process, from accessing data to manoeuvre screening and analysis, within a single platform.
• Access to information
  Gain insights into potential conjunctions, even without a Space-Track advanced account.
• Proactive risk mitigation
  Identify and address potential conjunctions before they become critical.
• Enhanced operational efficiency
  Streamline your workflow and make faster, more informed decisions.

How it works?

Our manoeuvre screening process leverages Neuraspace's Orbital Data Series and a default covariance ellipse for preliminary screening. 

Users can submit planned manoeuvres for analysis, and our system efficiently screens the satellite orbit against resident space objects within the same zone.

By providing rapid and accurate screening results, Neuraspace empowers operators to make informed decisions, reduce operational risks, and optimise satellite performance.
