ODM Plan Checklist – Streamlined Small Space Station Applications

§ 25.122(c)(5) ☐ The space station operator has assessed and limited the probability of accidental explosions, including those resulting from the conversion of energy sources on board the space station(s) into energy that fragments the spacecraft. [...] The collision risk may be assumed zero for a space station during the period of time when the satellite or space station is able to effectively conduct avoidance maneuvers, Satellites are considered able to effectively conduct avoidance maneuvers if they are able to pursue a mitigation action that will reduce the probability of collision (Pc) by at least 1.5 orders of magnitude from the mitigation. [...] § 25.122(c)(9) ☐ The space station(s) can be commanded by command originating from the ground to immediately cease transmissions and the licensee will have the capability to eliminate harmful interference when required under the terms of the license or other applicable regulations. [...] § 25.122(d)(3) ☐ For space stations with any means of maneuverability, including both active and passive means, a description of the design and operation of maneuverability and deorbit systems and a description of the anticipated evolution over time of the orbit of the proposed satellite(s). [...] § 25.122(d)(4) ☐ In any instances where spacecraft capable of having crew aboard will be located at or below the deployment orbital altitude of the space station seeking a license, the applicant will provide a description of the design and operational strategies that will be used to avoid in-orbit collision with such crewed spacecraft.
