A Purdue University engineer is exploring how to spot and track all human-made objects and predict the impact of their potential damage in the Cislunar region.
“So when we think about the techniques that we want to use, we also have to be sure that what we have in mind can evolve over time.”Approximately 130 million pieces of space debris, broken off of satellites that exploded or collided with other objects, surround Earth.
But Cislunar space, unlike near-Earth orbits, doesn't have telescopes that can serve as “traffic cameras” for satellites. So Frueh is developing a way to create “visibility maps” that would show the best regions telescopes should use to find and track human-made objects in the Cislunar region. “It’s like planning a road trip. Right now, we have identified points of interest in the Cislunar region to observe with telescopes, but we haven’t found the route yet for putting the telescopes there,” Frueh said.
