Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory media of the various embodiments provide for a three dimensional tool for depicting the variability of probability of collision (P) inputs to Pestimates. The depictions generated by the various embodiments may be used to quantify the quality of Pinput data required to yield actionable Pestimates. Various embodiments may provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for a computing device that may display a three dimensional depiction of the variability of Pinputs to Pestimates.

Probability of collision topology

Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory media of the various embodiments provide for a three dimensional tool for depicting the variability of probability of collision (P) inputs to Pestimates. The depictions generated by the various embodiments may be used to quantify the quality of Pinput data required to yield actionable Pestimates. Various embodiments may provide tools for depicting Pvalidation results. Various embodiments may provide a GUI for a computing device that may depict Pvalidation results.

Probability of collision bounding surfaces

Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory media of the various embodiments provide for a volumetric approach to determining orbital encounters that may determine the number of encounters over a specified length of time. Such information may be used to determine how often during an orbit or period of time an object might trigger a conjunction warning for a neighboring satellite. The various embodiments may be used as a planning and characterization tool to estimate satellite encounter rates for a prospective orbit regime and may provide an efficient, in-line approach to assess the number of encounters occurring within a user-specified span of time.
