Ultra-broadband speckle imaging for space domain awareness
Abstract
The proposed research will allow the Air Force to use their current ground-based telescopes to detect and characterize satellitesand space debris over a broader range of sizes and distances from Earth than is presently achieved. Moreover, the observations will require minimal upgrades to existing hardware. The research will also provide the means to characterize a wider range of satellite types (or classes) than is currently realized. Finally, the proposed study will enable us to better monitor the health (i.e., level ofdeterioration and functionality) of our assets in space. Each of the above advances represents a significant improvement for SpaceDomain Awareness.
