REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE FOR CONJUNCTION ASSESSMENT

摘要

This paper will review development of the content, format, implementation, and operational use of timely information for mitigating the consequences of conjunctions among satellites and trace the elements of information to requirements for dealing with threatening events. Stakeholders are developing essential elements of data, transmission formats, and operational guidance for managing close approaches (conjunctions) among satellites, preventing collisions, and mitigating the consequences of orbital events. The satellite operations community is also developing guiding principles for dealing with potential collisions in space.
