Oral presentation at the conference
The increase of conjunctions between active satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and other objects, either space debris or other satellites, has made necessary to evaluate the risk posed by these conjunctions in order to decide if evasive maneuvering is needed. The calculation of the collision probability between a pair of objects must done by a precise and fast algorithm because of the...

ESA’s space debris mitigation policy has come into force in March 2014 and adopts the space debris mitigation technical requirements from the ECSS adoption notice of ISO 24113. Those requirements include recommendations on the disposal of systems that have reached the end of their useful life, and were driving the development of OSCAR (Orbital SpaceCraft Active Removal). Specifically, OSCAR ...

Oral presentation at the conference
With the growing number of debris and satellites which ESA operate, the necessity for operators to mitigate collisions with debris is a reality. Meanwhile atmospheric re-entry of objects is also gaining lots of media interest.
In order to enhance ESA's Space Debris Office's (SDO) operational support to missions and to national alert centers, CGI has been developing web based tools which...

ESA's Space Debris Office provides a service to support operational collision avoidance activities. This support currently covers ESA’s missions Cryosat-2, Sentinel-1A, Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-3A, and the constellation of Swarm-A/B/C in low-Earth orbit (LEO). The support process is provided to third party customers, too.
We provide an overview on tools used in the mission design phase and...

One of the main missions of a Space Surveillance system is the detection and cataloguing of space objects having a size compatible with the detection constraints of its sensors. While radars are used to observe objects placed at Low Earth Orbits (LEO), and Telescopes to observe objects orbiting in Medium (MEO) and Geostationary Orbits (GEO), for objects orbiting in Highly Elliptical Orbits...

Oral presentation at the conference
The future sustainability of the near Earth environment requires continuing efforts to increase our knowledge of the current and future debris population. Possible on-orbit fragmentation events are a major concern nowadays. The Fragmentation Event Model and Assessment Tool (FREMAT) project for ESA was carried out with the objectives of simulating on-orbit fragmentations, assessing their...
