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.
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.
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.
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.
