#collisionavoidance — Public Fediverse posts

According to the #ESA, 14.5 million kilograms of man-made stuff circles the planet today. Compare that to 11 million kg two years ago and 8.9 million kg in 2020—a 63 percent increase 📈 over the past five years. “ #CollisionAvoidance is a standard practice now for every operator,” says Tim Flohrer, head of the ESA’s #SpaceDebris Office. This November, in Vienna, the #UNOOSA will be hosting a #SpaceLaw conference to tackle space debris removal https://spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-syndrome-space-debris

In the lingo of space flight operations, the probability of a spacecraft collision is called a conjunction - a predicted close approach between two objects in orbit.

While the volume of collision-avoidance maneuvers recently executed is breathtaking: >140K over the past 6 months by Spacelink alone. Autonomous on-board systems orchestrate the vast majority of these avoidance maneuvers.

In the latest TechAptitude post we explore the core concepts and technologies deployed for automated collision avoidance in today’s satellite constellations. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/satellite-collision-avoidance-technology #Space #Satellites #CollisionAvoidance #AutonomousSystems #Software

So apparently the #KesslerSyndrome has already started. The amount of avoidance maneuvers grew 3x over the last 6 months, and the amount of junk in the orbit went up by <s>40%<\s>63% <a href=https://spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-syndrome-space-debris> [1]<\a> over the last 5 years.

What now? It's hard to internalize that it's already here. It will be a quick ride from now. It goes exponential. Hug your GPS, satelite tv, the weather reports, the space photos. It's the end of the space age. We will be telling our grand children how cool it was.

And maybe, if they are lucky, the moon will herd the debris into an orbital ring. It will be magnificent.

What should we be doing to prepare for this? What are your thoughts?

"Southwest Airlines flight headed to Las Vegas takes dramatic plunge in response to nearby aircraft" by @AssociatedPress - Southwest 1496 (Boeing 737-700) departing Burbank #KBUR on Friday and made evasive maneuver to avoid a collision with another plane. The crew received a #TCAS alert, which is an NTSB-reportable event. Passengers reportedly frightened but flight proceeded safely to its destination Las Vegas #KLAS. https://apnews.com/article/southwest-plane-las-vegas-plunges-1b19692862325977c7eb9b4e02b94ae4 #CollisionAvoidance #aviation #travel #avgeek

Active #satellites 🛰️ must perform an increasing 📈 number of #collision avoidance manoeuvres to dodge out of the way of other satellites and fragments of #SpaceDebris. Another factor is the high level of solar ☀️ activity which can often cause increased atmospheric drag. If we extrapolate current trends into the future, catastrophic collision 💥 numbers could rise 📈 significantly https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/ESA_Space_Environment_Report_2024

Collision-avoidance maneuvers are not uncommon around the #moon 🌙. The #Korea 🇰🇷 Aerospace Research Institute (#KARI) received 40 "red alarms" of potential collisions 💥. There is currently no international protocol to resolve collision risks.
