Conjunction coordination support
Definition of conjunction coordination support
Conjunction coordination support refers to the process and capabilities involved in managing and mitigating the potential risks associated with conjunction events—situations where two or more orbital objects, such as satellites or debris, are at risk of colliding. This support involves the use of advanced tools and strategies to accurately predict possible conjunction events, assess the risk of collisions, and implement measures to avoid them.
It includes the integration of data from various sensors and tracking systems, providing timely alerts and guidance for satellite operators to perform collision avoidance manoeuvres. Conjunction coordination support is essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of satellite operations, minimizing the risk of catastrophic collisions, and maintaining the overall efficiency and reliability of space traffic management.
Why conjunction coordination support matters
Conjunction coordination support turns conjunction detection into coordinated action between operators, sensors, and decision makers. It matters because avoiding collisions requires timely, shared understanding of the event, consistent risk assessment, and clear maneuver guidance that respects each mission’s constraints.
Effective coordination reduces uncertainty, prevents late or conflicting responses, supports safe maneuvers at scale for constellations, and contributes to long-term orbital sustainability by minimizing the likelihood of debris-generating collisions.
How Look Up enables conjunction coordination
Look Up supports conjunction coordination by detecting and tracking objects with SORASYS radars and fusing multi-source data in SYNAPSE to deliver a timely, accurate space picture. SYNAPSE alerts, catalogs, and characterizes conjunctions and supports collision avoidance with tailored maneuver recommendations and collision avoidance predictions with a 99.9% accuracy rate.
Delivered via API, interface, or on-premises deployment, these capabilities help operators coordinate responses faster and protect satellite fleets with actionable, secure workflows.
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.
