AstroSweep: Detecting and Mitigating the threat of small space debris
This talk explores detecting and mitigating small space debris using lasers, addressing the significant threat posed by untracked objects to satellites and space missions.
Satellites which detect and mitigate small space debris (with lasers). There are an estimated 140 million space debris objects which are potentially mission ending, but only 50k total space objects are tracked today. In the last 4 months: 1 Chinese crewed spacecraft was damaged, 2 Starlink satellites were compromised, and a $2.3bn “communications” satellite (contracted by NATO) destroyed by untracked debris. AstroSweep will mitigate the risk of space debris for our customers.
