Blue Check
Abstract
The Blue Check program will develop space technologies to determine spacecraft identification and state data, completely independent of the spacecraft. Capabilities developed will support integrating spacecraft-derived information into the space domain awareness picture. Key efforts focus on the development of an identification and information device for every space object placed in orbit to provide accurate data. Resulting capabilities will aid in rapid determination of space objects, particularly in the case of multi-spacecraft deployments. Inherent to the space identification technology is the ability to provide forensic data for failed or anomalous spacecraft. Other areas to be investigated include leveraging small satellite mega-constellations and their networks to provide ID, state, and sensor data in support of this and other applications.
