Description of Document

The Conjunction Data Message (CDM) specifies a standard message format for use in exchanging spacecraft conjunction information between originators of conjunction assessments and satellite owner/operators and other authorized parties. Such exchanges provide critical information to satellite owner/operators to enable timely collision avoidance decisions. The CDM is applicable to satellite operations in all environments in which close approaches and collisions among satellites are concerns.
