In-situ observations of resident space objects with the CHEOPS space telescope [PDF]
The CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) is a partnership between the European Space Agency and Switzerland with important contributions by 10 additional ESA member States. It is the first S-class mission in the ESA Science Programme. CHEOPS has been flying on a Sun-synchronous low Earth orbit since December 2019, collecting millions of short ...

Multi-Bistatic Radar for Resident Space Objects Feature Estimation
The amount of space debris orbiting the Earth has seen a dramatic grow through the recent years. Its rising population increases the potential danger to space missions. At present time, it is urgent to gain as much information as possible in order to characterize this environment.

On the Space Observation of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) in Low Earth Orbits (LEOs)
Space debris is an increasingly severe problem in the space industry. According to projections, the number of satellites will increase from the current 10,000 to 100,000 by 2030, specially in LEO orbits.

Resident Space Objects Detection and Tracking with a Multi-Camera Telescope
The characterization of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) is essential for supporting various Space Situational Awareness functions, including precise orbit determination and collision prevention. Passive sensors, such as telescopes, have a remarkable role in this context.

Taxonomy for Resident Space Objects in LEO: A Deep Learning Approach
The increasing number of RSOs has raised concerns about the risk of collisions and catastrophic incidents for all direct and indirect users of space. To mitigate this issue, it is essential to have a good understanding of the various RSOs in orbit and their behaviour.

A Staring Tracking Measurement Method of Resident Space Objects Based on the Star Tacker
Measuring resident space objects (RSOs) by star trackers has become a research hotspot in space situational awareness. However, the arc length measured by star trackers is too short to complete the high-precision orbit determination of the RSO.
