Make collision avoidance an economics problem.

More than 30,000 catalogued objects orbit Earth, and operators receive tens of thousands of conjunction data messages every year. The overwhelming majority require no action. The handful that do can demand fuel-burning manoeuvres that shorten missions and absorb real money.

Existing tools tell you how many conjunctions to expect. None tell you what responding to them will cost. That gap is where operators, mission designers, and regulators lose money and defensibility, because a conjunction rate only becomes a number once you account for the parameters that actually drive the bill.

Low Earth orbit is more congested every year. New constellations launch, existing fleets expand, and the rate of conjunction warnings climbs with them. Operators feel this directly. The conjunction inbox keeps filling, and the cost of mishandling it compounds across the fleet.

Regulators are responding. The FCC, ESA, and national space agencies have all moved toward stricter debris-mitigation guidance, and the Zero Debris Charter is raising the bar again. Operators increasingly need to demonstrate that their conjunction response decisions are defensible.

The economics of orbital operations are tightening. Mission lifetimes matter more than ever, propellant is a finite resource, and the difference between a defensible manoeuvre and an unnecessary one shows up directly in the unit economics of every satellite.
