Description
MASTER and ARES are used in the preparation of operational collision avoidance support. Specifically, two tasks are addressed: a) Determination of the probability of collision threshold above which a manoeuvre is initiated. b) Defining of feasible avoidance manoeuvres, given realistic encounter scenarios. The use of these tools is exemplified based on the two HEO missions INTEGRAL (2002-048A) and XMM (1999-066A) that are being supported by ESOC's Space Debris Office.
