• Description:
  The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite operates in a densedebris environment; therefore, monitoring and responding to close approaches betweendebris objects and the spacecraft is vital to mission success. The current method forresponding to close approaches is both resource- and time-intensive and requires theMission Operations Team (MOT) to start the process before a threat to the spacecraft is fully analyzed. A new method for preparing and executing a Risk Mitigation Maneuver(RMM) could reduce the time and resources required for responding to a close approach. Byreducing response time, the MOT is able to allow more time for the close approach to beanalyzed and characterized as actionable, preventing unnecessary reaction to non-actionablethreats. This new method, called the On-Board Stored Maneuver Sequence (OSMS) system,uses pre-verified command sequences and ground commands to execute a RMM.
