This workflow automates the critical, repetitive task of tracking propellant usage—the sole determinant of a satellite's operational lifespan. By continuously ingesting executed maneuver telemetry from systems like AGI STK or FreeFlyer, it models consumption against a calibrated budget. The automation eliminates manual spreadsheet tracking, reduces the risk of human error in lifetime projections, and provides the lead time necessary for compliant, fuel-optimal deorbit planning. The operational upside is direct: extending service life through optimized maneuver planning and avoiding regulatory penalties or collision risk from derelict assets.
