Preventing Space Collisions How Engineers Safeguard Our Orbit Galaxy Ai Eumetsat’s stefano pessina explains how his flight dynamics team monitors any space debris predicted to enter the path of mtg i1 and, if necessary, how his team plans a manoeuvre to avoid a collision. Learn how the flight dynamics team at eumetsat ensures the meteosat third generation – imager 1 (mtg i1) satellite avoids collision with space debris.
Preventing Space Collisions Eumetsat Whereas eol operations are described in detail in the above mentioned iso standard, that is not yet the case for ca operations; therefore, eumetsat developed its own operational practices based on what is performed by leading operators in the field, such as nasa, esa and cnes. The paper describes the current operational practices in eumetsat to manage the risk of in orbit collision between the eumetsat operational satellites and other space objects, (i.e. both operational satellites and space debris); these are referred to as conjunction analysis (ca) operations. • esa has initiated a “zero debris charter” together with representatives from european government agencies and industries, primarily designed to limit the impact of large satellite constellation operations on the space environment. The workshop brought together technical experts, scientists, and satellite operators from around the world to develop specific proposals for reducing or preventing collisions in space.

Satellite owners and operators, both commercial actors and governments alike, have growing stakes in reducing the likelihood of such collisions. it is impossible to sustain a thriving space sector, both now and for future generations, without systematically addressing these risks. But as we launch more satellites into orbit, we face a new and urgent challenge: how to manage the growing congestion in space and ensure the safety and sustainability of these vital operations. The paper, after giving some information space debris mitigation, it report also provides on the a orbiting and st collision on the 1avoidance manoeuvre may 2011 . Earth orbit is getting crowded with over 45,000 human made objects. llnl researchers utilized supercomputers to map 1 million routes in cislunar space to prevent catastrophic collisions and manage growing space junk.
