  • Optical surveillance system for a space survey system for monitoring near-earth space having a matrix of telescopes coupled to image sensors
    Patent number: 9121704
    Abstract: An optical system for surveillance systems for space surveillance systems includes at least one telescope with a field greater than or equal to 5° mounted on a mobile mount along two axes, and coupled with an image sensor, whose sensitivity is designed for an integration time of the order of magnitude of a hundred milliseconds.
    Type: Grant

  • SPACE SURVEY SYSTEM FOR MONITORING NEAR-EARTH SPACE
    Publication number: 20130278757
    Abstract: A space survey system includes networked optical surveying systems designed to scan areas of earth orbit, in particular the LEO layer, arranged in a grid on the surface of a planet and further includes means designed to acquire images of objects traversing the areas scanned by the optical systems and calculation means designed to realize a measurement of the position time series of objects crossing the scanned areas by short integration over a fixed field.

  • METHOD FOR REALIZING A SPACE SURVEY SYSTEM FOR MONITORING NEAR-EARTH SPACE
    Publication number: 20130211778
    Abstract: A method for realizing a space survey system for the LEO zones of the Earth orbit includes positioning and placing network stations of optical survey systems over the surface of the globe according to a grid designed to offer an effective daily cycle of the system close to 24 hours and a chosen revisit period for the LEO zone observed.
