Abrégé

A system includes a plurality of satellites orbiting around a celestial body in a plurality of orbital planes. Each satellite includes an imaging device having a field of view (FOV) to capture an image of a sky that includes celestial image features of resident space object (RSO), stars, and/or planets. The satellite processor is configured to input the image data for each image into a pre-processing software pipeline to generate for each image a contrast-enhanced image data replica of each image, and an enhanced image data replica of each image, to receive from an output of a known-unknown RSO split data processing pipeline, a determination that a candidate RSO is a known RSO stored in an RSO catalog, or an unknown RSO, and to assign to the candidate RSO based on the determination, an RSO ID of the known RSO listed in the RSO catalog, or a new RSO ID.

Abrégé

Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable simulation of imaging of resident space objects (RSOs) by one or more space-based image sensors. The simulation includes obtaining a satellite constellation configuration having satellite configuration parameters for at least one satellite in a constellation of satellites. The simulation also includes obtaining an RSO configuration having RSO configuration parameters RSOs. The simulation may use the satellite and RSO configuration parameters to simulate constellation ephemeris data for each of the satellites and RSOs. Based on the position of each RSO and satellite, detectability of each RSO by each satellite is simulated based on a photometry simulation using the satellite configuration parameters, including sensor characteristics of a simulated sensor. Imagery may also be simulated based on an image generation model, the sensor configuration, the photometry simulation and at least one background model.

A system includes a plurality of satellites in orbit around a celestial body in a plurality of orbital planes. Each satellite includes an imaging device having a field of view (FOV) to capture an image of a sky that includes celestial image features of resident space object (RSO), stars, and/or planets. The satellite processor is configured to receive image data from sensors in the imaging device, to increase a positional detection accuracy of the celestial image features by defocusing imaging optics of the imaging device, to capture image data in a volume of the sky as the FOV of the imaging device on each satellite moves in an orbital plane, and generate by a centralized computer at least 1,000 celestial image features using the image data transmitted from each of the satellites.
