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.

In-Orbit Tracking of Resident Space Objects: A Comparison of Monocular and Stereoscopic Vision
IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, 2014This paper develops new methods for vision-based satellite attitude control aimed at space-based optical tracking of resident space objects (RSOs). An Earth-orbiting chaser satellite equipped with either one or two body-fixed cameras can successfully track an RSO provided that the target is kept within the camera field of view.

Spaceborne and ground-based sensor collaboration: Advancing resident space objects’ orbit determination for space sustainability [PDF]
peer reviewedThe limited space around the Earth is getting cluttered with leftover fragments from old missions, creating a real challenge. As more satellites are launched, even debris pieces as small as 5 mm must be tracked to avoid collisions.

A comparison of Radon domain approaches for resident space object’s parameter estimation
2020 21st International Radar Symposium (IRS), 2020The amount of space debris orbiting around the Earth has seen a dramatic growth through the recent years. This growth is fed by an avalanche multiplication process. In fact, according to the “Kessler syndrome”, any collision generates more debris that then collide with other objects and produce further debris.

Resident Space Object Characterization Using Polarized Light Curves
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2023Light curves, or the time-history of photometric brightness, have previously been demonstrated to allow for estimation of a space object’s attitude, shape, and surface parameters. However, these methods are subject to many limitations, including the need for accurate initial estimates to initialize filters, and the inability to regularly estimate ...

Laboratory experiments of resident space object capture by a spacecraft–manipulator system
Aerospace Science and Technology, 2017Abstract A set of laboratory experiments are conducted to demonstrate the autonomous capture of a simulated resident space object by a simulated spacecraft equipped with a robotic manipulator. A planar air-bearing test bed provides a quasi-weightless and drag-free dynamic environment on a plane.
