Can We Detect Space Debris Using Disturbances in the (Electromotive) Force?
Joseph Hughes, Research Scientist Space debris presents a growing challenge for satellite missions, and even small pieces of debris pose significant risks to operational spacecraft. However, tracking these small objects, particularly those smaller than 10 cm, has proven difficult. At Orion, we are exploring innovative methods to tackle this issue, focusing on disturbances in the very low frequency (VLF) electric field as a potential solution through our Space Debris Identification and...
