US Patent Issued on Feb. 24 for "Prediction, visualization, and remediation of conjunctions between orbiting bodies" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,559,262, issued on Feb. 24.

"Prediction, visualization, and remediation of conjunctions between orbiting bodies" was invented by Edward Charles Troppi Smythe (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The ever increasing number of orbiting bodies in low Earth orbit has made it infeasible to calculate potential conjunctions between orbiting bodies more than a few days in advance, even with the aid of supercomputers. Disclosed embodiments utilize machine learning to predict potential conjunctions between orbiting bodies faster than state-of-the art systems by orders of magnitude. This enables potential conjunctions to be identified well in ...
