Due to the importance of satellites for society and the exponential increase in the number of objects in orbit, it is important to accurately determine the state (e. g., position and velocity) of these Resident Space Objects (RSOs) at any time and in a timely manner.

Such a dense space environment increases the risk of collisions between space objects endangering the whole space population.

The method offers the advantage of delivering interpretable, accurate, and complex models of orbital motion that can be employed for propagation or as inputs to predictive models for other variables of interest, such as atmospheric drag or the probability of collision in an encounter with a spacecraft or space objects.

It is estimated that, in orbit, there are millions of fragments a few millimeters in size and thousands of inoperative satellites and discarded rocket stages.

Our proposed taxonomy and model offer a significant contribution to the ongoing efforts to mitigate the overall risks posed by the increasing number of RSOs in orbit.

In fact, the rate at which the CDMs are issued depends on the behaviour of the objects as well as on the screening process performed by third parties.

As a result, spacecraft collision avoidance procedures have become an essential part of satellite operations.
