The present disclosure provides a satellite system with orbital debris avoidance. In one embodiment, the satellite system includes debris sensor circuitry to scan orbital debris items in an orbital debris field; and sensor controller circuitry to determine a search window within the orbital debris field based on, at least, uncertainties associated with a velocity of the satellite (Vsatellite) and uncertainties associated with a velocity of at least one debris item (Vdebris), the sensor controller circuitry also to control the debris sensor circuitry to detect the at least one debris item within the search window.
