With a five year period of the Debris Mitigation Facility (DMF) activities coming to a close, our core developers and partners from OKAPI:Orbits and iTTi are taking the opportunity to present the latest steps in the DRAMA evolution to the broader community. This presentation is focusing on the transition from DRAMA 4.0 (upcoming release in January 2025) towards DRAMA 4.1, including many new...
The current suite of software tools for managing space debris at ESA (MASTER, DRAMA) were conceived some decades ago, when the statistical approach to uncertainty in science dominated.
Since that time, the discipline of causal science has made great strides as a tool for uncertainty management and policy optimisation. Causal science is often preferred over statistical approaches in the...
This talk will describe recent developments in the DRAMA/ARES tool to enable an improved analysis of collision avoidance strategies for low-thrust missions, including not only routine operations but also electric orbit raisings with pre-computed trajectories, and covering also different operational concepts to tackle the growth of the orbital uncertainty due to the low-thrust propulsion.
At this round table we want to understand if current collision avoidance practices across the broader community, and especially with respect to the Zero Debris approach, are well reflected well in DRAMA/ARES and if not, to discuss which methods or features we would want to develop and implement.
At this round table, we want to understand if damage assessments in DRAMA/MIDAS cover the most relevant analyses and if not, what needs to be developed.
With various existing databases (such as DISCOS, ESTIMATE, UCS, TLE catalogue) how do these enable mitigation and risk analyses - and what is missing here to further facilitate such analyses?
At this round table, we want to understand if functionalities in DRAMA/OSCAR cover the most relevant analyses and, if not, what needs to be developed.
At this round table, we want to understand how the deployment of large constellations is shaping/changing the environment and how these changes impact our way of performing risk assessments and mitigation analyses.
At this round table, we want to explore what we know about existing environmental models for interplanetary missions and how we approach such mission from the modelling perspective.
At this round table, we want to understand whether our current abilities to model destructive reentry are aligned with what community members expect, primarily in mission design but also other areas. Identify what should be primarily focused on in our roadmap, bearing in mind that our tool (DRAMA/SARA) is not a CFD simulation but rather provides a good first estimate of the on-ground casualty risk.
Space Debris x Futures will guide participants through the complexities of space debris accumulation as an immersive and forward-thinking scenario exercise. We aim to provoke strategic foresight and disruptive anticipation by exploring adaptive, generational responses that supersede immediate contingency measures. Through role-playing, cross-disciplinary insights, collaborative activities, and...
With so many uncertainties and open questions in the field of spacecraft disposal and the interactions with the atmosphere and the oceans, how can we begin to approach assessments/criteria/requirements?
At this round table, we want to understand how our modelling of sensor (networks) and spacecraft reflectivity can suit the needs of both spacecraft and sensor operators.
At this round table, we want to understand how the current DRAMA framework supports analyses of compliance with the Zero Debris approach.
In this session, we will present, summarise, and discuss the outcomes of the different parallel group discussion during the round table session.
