Abstract:
                        
                        SSA and STM receive considerable attention as the LEO satellite population steadily increases. But what’s involved with accurately finding answers to support these activities? There are many challenges to building a space catalog, and representative accuracies of existing approaches reveal additional work is needed. Conjunction analyses resulting from the existing catalog are given, and for expected future space populations. Differences between SSA and STM are discussed, and potential solutions are introduced.
