This study focuses on characteristics of the fragmented objects, such as altitude, mass, and whether they belong to a Large Constellation (LC). When a fragmentation occurs at higher altitudes, the new fragments will remain in orbit for a long time. Due to this accumulation, the fragments will not only keep the number of objects and probability of collision higher but also cause the risk of secondary collisions between fragments and background objects. When a collision occurs inside an LC at a lower altitude, the impacts will be short-term because most of fragments decay quickly.

This trend is rapidly increasing the probability of collisions between space objects. Space objects fly at extreme speeds; hence, the consequences of collisions are catastrophic. However, accurate and efficient conjunction assessment (CA) and collision avoidance (COLA) have long been challenging, even with the current space catalogues of O(10<sup>4</sup>) size. As the space catalogue size increases owing to the increased number of new satellites, improved sensor capabilities, and Kessler syndrome, the situation will worsen unless a paradigm-transforming computational method is devised. Here, we present the SpaceMap method, which can perform real-time CA and near-real-time COLA for O(10<sup>6</sup>) or more objects, provided that the spatiotemporal proximity amongst satellites is represented in a Voronoi diagram. As the most concise and efficient data structure for spatiotemporal reasoning amongst moving objects, Voronoi diagrams play a key role in the mathematical and computational basis for a new genre of artificial intelligence (AI) called space–time AI, which can find the best solutions to CA/COLA and other space decision-making problems in longer timeline windows.
