Earth Orbiting Resident Space Objects Characterization based on Astrometric Data

open access: yes, 2023
Due to the increasing number of Resident Space Objects, it becomes fundamental to characterize them. In particular, the ballistic coefficient and the effective ballistic coefficient play an important role for LEO and MEO/GEO objects.

Establishing the Capabilities of the Murchison Widefield Array as a Passive Radar for the Surveillance of Space

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
This paper describes the use of the Murchison Widefield Array, a low-frequency radio telescope at a radio-quiet Western Australian site, as a radar receiver forming part of a continent-spanning multistatic radar network for the surveillance of space ...

RSOnet: An Image-Processing Framework for a Dual-Purpose Star Tracker as an Opportunistic Space Surveillance Sensor

open access: yesSensors, 2022
A catalogue of over 22,000 objects in Earth’s orbit is currently maintained, and that number is expected to double within the next decade. Novel data collection regimes are needed to scale our ability to detect, track, classify and characterize resident ...

Multi-Site Simultaneous Time-Resolved Photometry with a Low Cost Electro-Optics System

open access: yesSensors, 2017
Sunlight reflected off of resident space objects can be used as an optical signal for astrometric orbit determination and for deducing geometric information about the object.

Monocular Relative Pose Estimation Pipeline for Uncooperative Resident Space Objects

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Information Systems, 2022
This paper aims to present a deep learning-based pipeline for estimating the pose of an uncooperative target spacecraft from a single grayscale monocular image. The possibility of enabling autonomous vision-based relative navigation in close proximity to a noncooperative resident space object would be especially appealing for mission scenarios such as ...

Daylight Measurement Acquisition of Defunct Resident Space Objects Combining Active and Passive Electro-Optical Systems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The uncontrolled growing number of resident space objects (RSOs) threatens the safe operation of space-related activities. Since the beginning of the Space Age, outer space is getting populated by objects emerging after breakup ...

Preliminary Study of Employing Space-Based Mirrors for Augmented Illumination of Cislunar Resident Space Objects

open access: yes, 2023
The imaging and inspection of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) is an increasingly important mission as space-faring nations and commercial enterprises alike seek to develop means to repair and refuel spacecraft, as well as de-orbit RSOs to reduce orbital ...
