New TCN-Transformer Model Predicts Satellite Collision Risk

Researchers have developed a novel hybrid Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN)-Transformer model to predict satellite collision probabilities more effectively. This model aims to improve the analysis of Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs) by learning the temporal evolution of collision risk. The framework utilizes an Unscented Transform for propagation and backpropagation, along with Principal Component Analysis to identify key CDM parameters influencing collision risk, ultimately offering earlier and more consistent operational risk evaluation for low Earth orbit satellites.
