Abstract

Over the last few years, both the space debris population and the number of active satellites in orbit has dramatically increased. The risk of collision for satellite missions is a problem to an increasing extent targeted thoroughly by all agents involved in space situational awareness (SSA) & spacecraft operations. In the frame of the European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST), the CA service is provided on a hot redundancy scheme involving the French and Spanish Operations Centres (FR-SSA Centre and S3TOC, respectively), to more than 50 organizations and 390 satellites at the time of writing.Given the dynamic space environment, EU SST CA service must evolve continuously to face the increase of the number of registered users and spacecraft, the diversity of users’ needs and the increasing number of close approaches.
