KEY POINTS:
- Dynamic space operations is the term used to describe being able to manoeuvre satellites away from threats like debris.
- A modernized suite of tools to operate more mobile satellites is currently being developed.
- The transition to dynamic space operations will require new satellite designs that include larger fuel tanks.
