ABSTRACT

With rapid modernization and scientific advancements, the world is moving closer to advocating long-term space exploration initiatives and espousing human colonies on other planets. This is leading to ever-increasing space traffic congestion. This congestion, if left unmonitored and uncontrolled could potentially become the cause of space disasters and accidents leading to unforeseen pollution scenarios in space. To counter the highly sensitive problem of space traffic, there is a need for apt traffic management. Spacecraft anti-collision system is the incepted solution, which would be extremely useful in controlling and manipulating space traffic disasters, given the growing number of nations engaged in space operations and the practical space traffic challenges that would be encountered when safe and comfortable space tourism becomes a reality. The research introduces a newly formulated strategically aligned mathematical algorithm for theoretically modeled spacecraft anti-collision system design that incorporates heads-up display (HUD) configuration within the pilot’s direct vision feed for conveying the relevant information and sharing critically bypassed laconic data to prevent disastrous incidents arising due to mutual spacecraft collisions or collisions with other traffic elements including unforeseen asteroids. A futuristic anti-collision algorithm design has been developed that utilizes IoT-integrated devices within the avionics of the spacecraft. The main function of this system design is to defend against space accidents by providing relevant information, that handily forms the firm basis for helping pilots in making strategic moves during the breakout of critical accidental circumstances.
