ALGORITHM 2: POST-LAUNCH CO-ORBITAL THREAT PREDICTION

This algorithm takes in estimated launch TLEs and determines what known RSOs are at a high risk of having a launch payload enter a co-orbital path. The output displays a list of the NORAD IDs of those RSOs at potential risk, as well as additional maneuver details such as orbit type, estimated delta-v, and the most recent epoch for each RSO.

ALGORITHM 1: UCT CANDIDATE OBJECT TO KNOWN RSO MATCHING

This algorithm takes in one or more candidate UCT object(s) and determines what known RSOs have a high feasibility of being one of the candidate objects. For each candidate object, the output displays the list of NORAD IDs of “matching” RSOs with additional maneuver details, as well as a weighted probability of characteristics of the candidate object.
