Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method for tracking space debris with centimeter-level accuracy, improving space ...

More accurate orbit predictions for satellites and space debris as well as a better understanding of the water masses present on Earth: Researchers at achieved both using satellite laser ranging.

Christopher Fluke works for Swinburne University of Technology. He has previously received funding from the SmartSat CRC, including funding to support a research collaboration with CGI Australia ...

Scientists are using laser-based tracking and gravity data to improve how we monitor both satellites and space debris. By blending these methods, they can now predict orbits more precisely and gather ...

30 blue whales of space junk The amount of debris in orbit around Earth is increasing rapidly. The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates there are more than 40,000 pieces larger than 10cm in orbit ...

"At the same time, we can use the data obtained from the measurements to predict the position of satellites and space debris much better, locate them, map them with SLR and predict their future ...

A communications satellite broke apart into smaller fragments in geostationary orbit after an unexpected failure rendered it irrecoverable, littering space with more junk that increases the chance ...
