Space Surveillance

Space Surveillance refers to the monitoring and tracking of objects in Earth’s orbit and beyond. This includes satellites, space debris, and other celestial bodies. The primary goal of space surveillance is to ensure the safety and security of space operations by detecting potential collisions, understanding orbital dynamics, and maintaining situational awareness of all objects in space. It involves the use of ground-based and space-based sensors, radar systems, telescopes, and data analysis techniques to collect and interpret information about the location, movement, and characteristics of these objects. Space surveillance is crucial for space traffic management, national security, and scientific research, as it helps to mitigate risks associated with the increasing congestion in Earth’s orbital environment.
