Abstract Conjunction analysis is the study of possible collisions between objects in space. Conventional conjunction analysis algorithms are geared towards computing the collision probability between any two resident space objects. Currently, there are few heuristic methods available to select which objects should be considered for a detailed collision analysis. A simple all-on-all collision analysis results in an O(N2) procedure, which quickly becomes intractable for large datasets. The main objective of this research work is to preemptively determine which catalogued objects should be considered for a more detailed conjunction analysis, significantly reducing the number of object pairs to be investigated.
