MAI created a method to protect spacecraft from collisions with space debris

A system of algorithms to prevent the threat of collision of satellites with space debris and uncontrolled objects in orbit was created by scientists at the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI); This technique is used in planning missions to the moon, the press service of the institute reported on Wednesday. "The technique makes it possible to detect in time and deal with the threat of collision of satellites with orbital bodies of artificial origin, space debris and other uncontrolled objects," the press service said in a statement. "The work was carried out as part of a research work commissioned by the state corporation Roscosmos, which aims to ensure the safety of space flights and design constellations of a multi-satellite orbit," the institute noted.
