Space Debris Detection and Tracking with the Techniques of Cosmic Ray Physics [PDF]

Proceedings of 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2019), 2019
Space Debris (SD) consist of non-operational artificial objects orbiting around the Earth, which could possibly damage space vehicles, such as the International Space Station (ISS) or other manned spacecrafts. The vast majority of such objects are cm-sized, not catalogued and usually the tracking data are not precise enough.
