Conjunction summary report

Definition

A Conjunction Summary Report is a detailed document that provides a comprehensive analysis of potential conjunctions, which are close encounters or conjunctions between orbiting objects such as satellites, debris, or other space entities.

The report typically includes information on the relative trajectories of the objects, their predicted paths, and the likelihood or risk of collision within a defined time frame.

It is an essential tool for space situational awareness, helping satellite operators, defense agencies, and other space stakeholders assess and mitigate collision risks in space operations.

The report may also recommend possible maneuvers or actions to avoid collisions, ensuring the safety and sustainability of satellite operations and the broader space environment.

Turning close-approach alerts into decision-ready information

A Conjunction Summary Report turns a raw close-approach alert into an operator-ready package for decision-making.

By consolidating relative geometry, predicted encounter time and miss distance, and collision likelihood within a defined window, it helps teams prioritize the highest-risk events, coordinate with other actors, and decide whether to maneuver under time and fuel constraints.

Used consistently, it reduces uncertainty and supports safer, more sustainable operations for single satellites and constellations by improving traceability and post-event reporting.

How Look Up supports conjunction assessment and collision avoidance

Look Up supports conjunction assessment by detecting and tracking objects with SORASYS radars and fusing multi-source data in the SYNAPSE platform to maintain an accurate, timely space picture.

SYNAPSE delivers actionable conjunction analytics and alerts, and can support collision avoidance with tailored maneuver recommendations that account for mission constraints.

For security-sensitive operations, SYNAPSE can be deployed on-premises to protect workflows while coordinating risk management and asset protection for fleets.

We are not just another space safety company

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.
