    摘要: The present invention has the object of simplifying apparatus configuration and avoiding a requirement for calibration. The present invention achieves the above object by forming a detection sheet element that retains in a predetermined array pitch a plurality of conductive detection lines that are lead lines formed by etching or the like on a non-conductive thin film that can be exposed in a space environment. A detection circuit connected to each detection line of the detection sheet element is provided. When an object flying in space collides with the detection sheet body, since a detection line on the detection sheet element is ruptured, constant monitoring of the conductivity of the detection line by the detection circuit enables detection of the object flying in space that has collided with the detection sheet element when a detection line is ruptured. Furthermore a means of solution is adopted in which an effective diameter of a colliding object flying in space can be detected from the number of severed detection lines.

    摘要: Correlating observations of objects in the sky to determine an orbit includes identifying an initially identified object, determining if the initially identified object will be identifiable again, and identifying a subsequently identified object. A determination is then made by comparing characteristics of the initially identified object with the subsequently identified object. If the object correlate to one another a path or orbit of the object can be determined using the characteristics of the initially identified object and the subsequently identified object.

    摘要: When correction values are respectively determined for noise components of “OFFSET COMPONENT OF CCD ELEMENT”, “GRADATION COMPONENT OF BACKGROUND LIGHT” and “OFFSET COMPONENT OF OPTICAL SYSTEM”, the pixel values including as less of these noise components as possible are evaluated. The evaluated pixel values include a noise component of “THERMAL NOISE PLUS READOUT NOISE COMPONENT” which is superposed onto the pixel values. With this taken into consideration, a moving object detection method of an embodiment photographs multiple images of a moving object being an observation object with a photographic area fixed, selects the smallest pixel value in each group of corresponding pixels across the images from image signals representing the images, evaluates image signals including as less of the four noise components as possible by using the smallest pixel value as the correction value for the four noise components.

    摘要: Apparatus for a space platform comprises a magnetic field generator and/or an electric field generator respectively configured to generate fields for influencing the trajectory of one or more items of space debris passing within a region of the apparatus. A system comprising a plurality of such space platforms may be placed in an orbit proximal to an orbit containing space debris. An individual space platform or system thereof may be used in a method for displacing earth orbital space debris out of the orbit and either towards the Earth's atmosphere where it is likely to be destroyed by the burning on re-entry into the atmosphere, or into a safer orbit from which it may be collected or in which it may be left.

    摘要: An orbital debris sweeper is provided for removing particles from orbit which otherwise may impact and damage an orbiting spacecraft. The debris sweeper includes a central sweeper core which carries a debris monitoring unit, and a plurality of large area impact panels rotatable about a central sweeper rotational axis. In response to information from the debris monitoring unit, a computer determines whether individual monitored particles preferably impact one of the rotating panels or pass between the rotating panels. A control unit extends or retracts one or more booms which interconnect the sweeper core and the panels to change the moment of inertia of the sweeper and thereby the rotational velocity of the rotating panels. According to the method of the present invention, the change in panel rotational velocity increases the frequency of particles which desirably impact one of the panels and are thereby removed from orbit, while large particles which may damage the impact panels pass between the trailing edge of one panel and the leading edge of the rotationally succeeding panel.
