📜 Playbook — Space Intelligence collection

1. Direction — frame the requirement for Space Intelligence: what decision does this support, by when?
2. Collection — collect from the 3 mapped sources (2 free) — filter the catalog by SPACEINT; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

⚡ AI Skills & Automation

Automate unattended via the cron pipeline (collect → ingest → resolve → enrich → score → alert).

🎯 Mission

Space Intelligence maintains awareness of the orbital environment — cataloging satellites and debris, tracking launches, detecting maneuvers and screening conjunctions — using public catalogs and ground-station RF. It answers what is in orbit and whose it is, which objects are maneuvering or conducting proximity operations, and where launch, re-entry or collision events threaten assets.

📡 Collection methods

• Two-line element (TLE) ingestion and SGP4 orbit propagation
• Optical and radar tracking correlation with maneuver detection
• Conjunction (close-approach) screening between catalog objects
• Satellite RF downlink monitoring and telemetry decode via ground stations
• Launch detection and re-entry / orbital-decay tracking
• Payload and operator attribution from catalog and registry data

📜 Space Intelligence Tradecraft

1. Ingest TLE catalogs and SatNOGS RF observations for the objects of interest
2. Propagate orbits with SGP4 and align observations to catalog NORAD IDs
3. Detect maneuvers, conjunctions and unusual proximity operations from residuals
4. Resolve NORAD IDs to operators and countries via UCS and UNOOSA registries
5. Publish a space order-of-battle with maneuver and conjunction alerts
6. Cue MASINT and RFINT on active payloads and warn stakeholders on conjunctions
