微小スペースデブリ検出のための地上観測技術

摘要

JAXA is developing analysis technologies "the stacking method" and "line-identifying technology" which are able to detect faint GEO objects that are not on the catalog provided by U.S. These technologies have been shown to be useful for detection of faint objects, so far. However, the stacking method has the disadvantage that is time-consuming to detect objects whose movements are unpredictable. In order to overcome this, a new algorithm and a FPGA board system are being developed. In this paper, details of the technologies are described.
