Conjunction assessment
Definition of conjunction assessment
Conjunction assessment is a critical analytical process in space operations that involves evaluating the potential for and risk of collision between orbiting objects, such as satellites and space debris. This process entails the integration and analysis of data from various sources, including radars and sensors, to predict the probability and potential consequences of close approaches, known as conjunctions, in space.
The goal of conjunction assessment is to provide timely and accurate information that supports decision-making for collision avoidance, enhancing the safety and sustainability of space activities by mitigating the risk of accidental impacts that could lead to the creation of additional space debris and threaten operational satellites.
Why conjunction assessment matters for flight safety
Conjunction assessment underpins day to day flight safety by turning raw tracking data into a quantified collision risk that operators can act on within narrow decision windows. It reduces uncertainty in close approach events, supports coordinated traffic management at scale for constellations, and helps prevent debris generating collisions that can degrade orbital regimes for years.
Reliable conjunction assessment also improves operational efficiency by prioritizing which alerts require action and by informing maneuver planning that balances safety with mission performance and propellant constraints.
How Look Up supports conjunction assessment
Look Up supports conjunction assessment by detecting and tracking objects in LEO with its SORASYS radar network and by fusing multi source data in its SYNAPSE digital platform to build a timely, accurate space picture.
SYNAPSE delivers collision avoidance predictions with a 99.9% accuracy rate and issues actionable alerts, object cataloguing, and risk insights via API or interface, including secure on premises deployments.
Look Up then helps operators decide and coordinate by providing tailored maneuver recommendations aligned with mission constraints for safer, scalable fleet operations.
We deliver space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA) solutions that help secure active satellites and ensure safe operations in the ever-growing expanse of space.
