Frequently Asked Questions (Thesaurus)

Here we will provide some definitions of the terms used throughout the website.

In the dedicated service pages, we will answer more specific questions.

What are Space Debris?

All man-made objects, including their fragments and parts […], in Earth orbit or re-entering the dense layers of the atmosphere that are non-functional. [Link]

What is Space Situational Awareness (SSA)?

The understanding, knowledge, characterization, and maintained awareness of the space environment: artificial space objects […], natural objects […], effects from space weather […], and potential risks to humans and property in space, on the ground and in the air space due to […] occurrences that could disrupt missions and services. [Link]

What is Space Traffic Coordination (STC)?

The cooperative planning, harmonization, data and information sharing, and synchronization of space activities. [Link]

What is Space Traffic Management (STM)?

The assurance value chain that contributes to a safer and more sustainable space operations environment, composed of (A) Space Traffic Coordination, and (B) Regulation and Licensing, and dependent upon a foundation of continuous Space Situational Awareness. [Link]

What is Adjacent Satellite Interference (ASI)?

A phenomenon that occurs when two or more satellite signals are received by a ground terminal or when two or more ground terminal signals are received by satellite. [Link]

What are Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO)?

Rendezvous is a process wherein two space objects (artificial or natural body) are intentionally brought close together through a series of orbital manoeuvres at a planned time and place.

Proximity Operations are a series of orbital manoeuvres executed to place and maintain a spacecraft in the vicinity of another space object (artificial or natural bodies) on a relative planned path for a specific time duration to accomplish mission objectives. [Link]

What is Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST)?

The detection, tracking, monitoring, cataloguing and prediction of the movement of space objects, and the identification and alerting of derived risks. [Link]

What is In/On-Orbit Servicing, Assembling and Manufacturing (ISAM/OSAM)?

Servicing is the on-orbit alteration of a satellite after its initial launch, using another spacecraft to conduct these alterations.

Assembly involves the on-orbit aggregation of components to constitute a spacecraft or spacecraft subsystem.

Manufacturing involves the on-orbit transformation of raw materials into usable spacecraft components. [Link]

What is Space Debris Mitigation?

Efforts to reduce the generation of space debris through measures associated with the design, manufacture, operation, and disposal phases of a space mission. [Link]

What is Space Debris Remediation?

Efforts to manage the existing space debris population through active space debris removal with emphasis on densely populated orbit regions. [Link]
