DebrisWatch II: Digging deeper for geosynchronous debris
James A. Blake, Benjamin F. Cooke, Cristina Paragini +27
The geosynchronous (GSO) debris environment is continually evolving. Regular monitoring of the region is consequently of great importance, though the trade-off between coverage and…
Brightness, Colour, Polarisation: A Multi-Instrument Observation Campaign of the Gorizont-6 Satellite
Robert J. S Airey, Paul Chote, Klaas Wiersema +15
We present a coordinated multi-instrument photometric and polarimetric study of the defunct geosynchronous satellite, Gorizont-6. This observation campaign combined wide-field mult…
Lord of the (sub-)Rings : Mapping the surface reflectance and spin-axis of Ajisai
Robert J. S Airey, Paul Chote, James A. Blake +4
Active debris removal techniques are posed to become an important tool in maintaining the safety of the near-Earth space environment. These techniques rely on a clear understanding…
Classification of LEO Satellites Using Occultations of Background Stars
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, James A. Blake +4
We present the result of a proof-of-concept simulation designed to classify LEO satellites based on their occultations of background stars. We generate satellite shapes drawn from…
A comprehensive survey of the GEO-belt using simultaneous four-colour observations with STING
Robert J. S. Airey, Paul Chote, James A. Blake +7
Colour light curves of resident space objects (RSOs) encapsulate distinctive features that can offer insights into an object's structure and design, making them an invaluable tool…
Predicting RSO Populations Using a Neighbouring Orbits Technique
Benjamin F. Cooke, James A. Blake, Paul Chote +2
The determination of the full population of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is a key issue in the field of space situational awareness that will only increas…
