Abstract

Methods and systems for space situational awareness (SSA) demonstration are provided. The system includes a space data collector component, for collecting space initialization data of space objects from initialized space sources and pre-processing the space initialization data; a data relocation component, for distributing the space initialization data pushed from the space data collector component into multiple streaming channels for streaming; a streaming platform, for streaming, mapping, and reducing the space initialization data from the data relocation component to provide streamed data; a real-time analysis component, for calculating the streamed data to conduct a real-time detecting and tracking analysis of the space objects by implementing algorithms for one or more of space uncertainty propagation, space object tracking, sensor management, and collision avoidance; and a space visualization component, for displaying a visualization of space situational awareness (SSA) based on analyzed results from the real-time analysis component.
