Abstract
A major contributor to the setback of space exploration is the risk of space debris and their collisions with satellites. This paper will cover the methods proposed to produce a space collision avoidance system to automatically maneuver a satellite in a trajectory of collision and to deorbit a satellite safely when it is about to run out of fuel. The space collision avoidance system propounded predicts the path of debris and active satellites by a trained machine learning algorithm. Using the data obtained, it predicts the probability of impact between objects using a collision prediction algorithm developed. Upon reaching a specific threshold value, this would trigger the maneuvering of the satellite into a safe path away from the approaching debris, thus resolving the concerns regarding the deorbiting of dying satellites in low earth orbits, and satellite collisions. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
