dc.description.abstractSatellites are vulnerable to space debris larger than ~1 cm, but much of this debris cannot be tracked from the ground. In-orbit detection and tracking of debris is one solution to this problem. We present some steps towards achieving this, and in particular to use hyperspectral imaging to maximise the information obtained. We present current work related to hyperspectral in-orbit imaging of space debris in three areas: scenario evaluation, a reflectance database, and an image simulator. Example results are presented. Hyperspectral imaging has the potential to provide valuable additional information, such as assessments of spacecraft or debris condition and even spectral “finger-printing” of material types or use (e.g. propellant contamination). These project components are being merged to assess mission opportunities and to develop enhanced data processing methods to improve knowledge and understanding of the orbital environment.en_UK
