Welcome to Space Object Threat Assessment (SOTA)

Space Object Threat Assessment (SOTA) decreases risk to satellite missions and increases survivability against threats by assessing a space object’s vulnerability to another object’s actions or events.

SOTA at a Glance:

• Uses vulnerability analysis to ensure mission assurance for space based systems
• Is designed to support real-time, live or simulated data, or offline for analytical studies, training and exercise activities
• Provides a software engine with time dynamic displays that include color coded visualization and output for ease of sharing SOTA results

Four-Step Workflow

• Model threatening events using accurate physics-based modeling
• Perform assessments and rank orders of potential threats
• Assess in various modes; one-on-one, one-on-all, all-on-one, all-on-all
• Analyze results through dynamic plots, 3D visualizations and text reports

Vulnerability

SOTA provides a measure of vulnerability (or likelihood) of a threat object targeting another object using a Vanguard Number. The Vanguard vulnerability metric provides insight into how likely a specific action is and how soon it could happen.

User Output

SOTA provides a variety of outputs, including

• 3D surface, contour and heatmap plots
• Text-based, CSV data files that contain Delta-V and maneuver timing information for the vulnerabilities as they evolve over time
• CZML files for each specific encounter that can easily be viewed in Cesium
  • If you do not have Cesium install, use this link, click the Tap to Interact button, and drag the .czml file onto the globe.
  • To set up a Cesium instance of your own, follow the instructions outlined here.

Addressable Event Types

• Co-orbital
• Orbital intercept
• Plane matching
• Proximity Operations
• Rendezvous
