Summary
A new study has indicated that enhancing the accuracy of space situational awareness (SSA) data could play a crucial role in minimizing satellite collision risks.
The research emphasizes the need for tighter thresholds when assessing potential conjunctions between satellites, particularly in low Earth orbit (LEO).
By implementing these measures, the study suggests that most collision risks could be effectively mitigated, contributing to safer operations in space.
