Opening Insights The growing presence of resident space objects (RSOs), including active satellites and orbital debris, poses increasing challenges for space situational awareness (SSA). Traditionally, ground-based radar and optical methods have been the primary means of tracking space debris. These methods are constrained by atmospheric conditions, lighting variations, and the limitations of ground-based observatories. As […]
