Our orbit propagation model is based on SGP4/SDP4 and uses data sourced from space-track.org. Object 1 and Object 2 are arranged by their NORAD ID (NORAD_CAT_ID).
|
|
The "Within ellipsoid" option allows you to check if the predicted miss distance is within the RIC (Radial, In-track, Cross-track) ellipsoid, centered on either Object 1 or Object 2 at TCA, with specified semi-axis lengths.
|
|
To exclude long-lasting conjunctions of ride-sharing satellites, you can use the "Relative Speed > 0.01 km/s" filter. Additionally, connected modules of ISS and CSS are not included in the forecast. Some ride-sharing satellites may also be temporarily excluded from the forecast.
|
|
Gray background indicates a >1 km difference between the latest published position of a conjunction object and the position propagated from the TLE used for conjunction detection, indicating that the record may no longer be current.
|
If comparison of the velocity vector and Keplerian orbital parameters from the latest published TLE with the corresponding values propagated from the TLE used for conjunction detection shows a deviation exceeding ±3× the background RMSE, indicating probable maneuvering, the following symbols identify the orbital parameter and direction of the probable change:
↑ ↓ - semimajor axis increase/decrease
↺ ↻ - inclination increase/decrease
→ ← - RAAN increase/decrease
↗ - probable maneuvering detected based on a propagated-versus-published velocity-vector difference exceeding 3× the background RMSE, while the semimajor axis, inclination, and RAAN deviations each remain within ±3× their respective background RMSEs.
