Technical analysis and engineering reference.
Under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, nations bear international responsibility for national activities in space, but no binding international traffic code dictates which satellite must maneuver when two assets approach on intersecting orbital planes. Operators currently negotiate ad-hoc via frantic phone calls and unstandardized emails.
OrbitalOrchestration codifies deterministic nautical-style rules: - Uncrewed commercial satellites must yield to crewed space stations and human spaceflight missions. - Active propulsion satellites must maneuver to avoid dead satellites or non-maneuverable cubesats. - When two maneuverable commercial satellites encounter each other, the satellite with lower delta-V margin or higher mission impact has right-of-way, requiring the sister satellite to execute the radial deviation burn.
Rather than relying on unverified claims of delta-V exhaustion, the network validates spacecraft fuel expenditure history against public space domain awareness radar tracking, preventing bad-faith operators from dodging their collision avoidance obligations.
