External events likely contributed to an overall rise in threat perception, but Chinese coercive actions were associated with …
The Element Of Surprise: Highly Maneuverable Satellites And Ssa, Simone L. Montandon
The Element Of Surprise: Highly Maneuverable Satellites And Ssa, Simone L. Montandon
Journal of Strategic Security
Military, commercial, and civil space missions rely on accurate space situational awareness (SSA) to avoid collisions and inform the analysis of the threat environment. Historically, man-made objects in space have been highly predictable because their trajectories were mostly constrained within the orbit they occupied. However, fast-paced progress in engine/thruster technology, energy efficiency, and on-orbit servicing and refueling have allowed satellites to maneuver often and quickly within their lifespan. This added an element of unpredictability that adds further uncertainty to an operational environment that is already highly uncertain. This paper argues that solving this issue will require pursuing continued custody of …
