COMSPOC predicts that SpaceX’s Starlink constellation could perform as many as 80 automated collision-avoidance maneuvers per day due to Cosmos 1408 debris, given a maneuver threshold of a 1-in-100,000 collision probability.
COMSPOC projects that debris from the Cosmos 1408 event will produce about 40,000 conjunctions in the first week of April 2024 purely from that one event.
COMSPOC found that Starlink satellites account for about 7% of all close approaches with China’s space station and that the majority of close approaches are caused by debris, including debris from China’s 2007 anti-satellite weapon test.
The object cataloged as 2021-094C was used for early rendezvous, proximity operations, and inspection tests before Shijian-21 targeted Beidou-2 G2, according to COMSPOC tracking.
Comspoc Corp. operates round-the-clock tracking of objects in orbit and analyzes data to provide space domain and safety-of-flight information to government and commercial satellite operators.
Comspoc compares information provided by satellite operators with the public space catalog to warn Space Data Association members of impending conjunctions and to help select suitable collision-avoidance maneuvers.
Comspoc Corp. was established in 2014.
Comspoc runs the Space Data Center, which provides conjunction assessments and warnings to the Space Data Association.
Comspoc operates a space situational awareness command center, a cloud-based platform that curates, fuses, and processes space data from a global network of commercial sensors and delivers information to government and commercial customers.
