MARACCASS R&T
- Dates: 2012-2015
- Title: Models and Architectures for the Resilience and Adaptability of Collaborative Collision Avoidance System for Spacecraft - MARACCASS
- Subject: The R&T MARACCASS aims at studying methods, techniques and tools to design and develop collaborative systems to manage collision avoidance between satellites and space objects.
- Head of project: Eliane Cubero-Castan (CNES)
- Financed: CNES
- Participants: CNES, ICS-IRIT
- Members: Eric Barboni (ICS-IRIT), Eliane Cubero-Castan (CNES), Celia Martinie (ICS-IRIT), David Navarre (ICS-IRIT), Philippe Palanque (ICS-IRIT), Erwann Poupart (CNES)
CNES and various international agencies have to cope with the increasing number of space fragments, which are a threat to on-going satellite missions. Collision avoidance management is
a collaborative, cross-team, and international activity. Currently, engineers in such teams are assisted with several non-integrated software tools, which have not been developped to support
collaborative work. Currently, collision risks are increasing with the number of space fragments. And the available tools are becoming insufficient to assist the teams to
manage collision avoidance.
MARACCASS R&T will take advantage of results of R&T TORTUGA (in terms of framework, process, notations and tools) to find appropriate ways to design and develop
collaborative applications to manage collision avoidance between satellites and space objects.
