>* A collision avoidance analysis is an analysis carried out prior to a
>rocket launch to avoid a collision with manned space systems, such as
>the International Space Station, which are in orbit. In principal, a
>launch vehicle and any of its separated objects should not collide
>with manned space systems from the launch until its completion of the
>first round around the earth.
