Space Debris Detection Using Feature Learning of Candidate Regions in Optical Image Sequences

IEEE Access, 2020
Space debris detection is important in space situation awareness and space asset protection. In this article, we propose a method to detect space debris using feature learning of candidate regions. The acquired optical image sequences are first processed

Removing Orbital Debris with Lasers

, 2011
Orbital debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) are now sufficiently dense that the use of LEO space is threatened by runaway collisional cascading. A problem predicted more than thirty years ago, the threat from debris larger than about 1 cm demands serious ...
