Applications
- 14.1.1 Conjunction Assessment & Avoidance — Detecting, assessing and responding to close-approach events between active satellites and debris before they become collisions.
- 14.1.2 Catalogue Maintenance — Continuously tracking, identifying and updating the orbital state vectors of every catalogued object in Earth orbit using ground-based and space-based sensors.
- 14.1.3 Manoeuvre Coordination — Coordinating collision-avoidance manoeuvres between satellite operators in real time, ensuring that one operator's evasive action does not create a new hazard for a third party.
- 14.1.4 STM Standards & Interoperability — Developing and enforcing national technical standards that allow a sovereign STM system to exchange data and coordinate actions with international counterparts without ceding operational control.
- 14.1.5 National STM Authority Operations — Running a sovereign space traffic management authority that monitors, coordinates and enforces safe orbital operations within a nation's licensed and jurisdictional remit.
