Satcat Launch
Satcat Launch is a Launch Conjunction Assessment (CA) system that enables launch providers to rapidly identify conjunctions along a launch vehicle's predicted trajectory with other objects in the space environment. Satcat Launch screens each individual launch time option in your launch window to make it easy identify which launch times produce close approaches.
Satcat Launch supports all Form 22 fields and features defined by the 18/19 SDS Launch Conjunction Assessment Handbook. Blank Form 22 forms can be found on Space-Track.org.

Access to Launch Conjunction Assessment features requires a Satcat Launch subscription.
Key features
Screening Customization
Screen all orbital and suborbital stages of your launch vehicle at the same time with a custom launch window and screening timesteps for the screening. Each uploaded CALIPER file can be set with a custom name and HBR value. Launch providers can match Form 22 guidelines, or customize the launch screening to specific Manned, Active, and General Stand-off Radius and Probability of Collision values.
Secondary Catalog Support
Select the entire secondary SP catalog, or filter for a specific set of secondaries. Satcat Launch also allows for custom secondary ephemerides upload, giving you greater control over what satellites you can screen your launch vehicle against.
High Performance Computing
Screening results are computed within minutes, not hours. Satcat Launch's on-demand screening reduces the turnaround time for submitting launch plans by allowing operators to pre-screen the secondary catalog for blackout periods before submission to 19 SDS.
