Data On-Demand for Capable Space Domain Awareness Architecture

Executive Summary

We will develop orbit modeling tools and an image simulation framework for understanding the impact of ground-based electro-optical and short-wave infrared imaging on detecting, tracking, and characterizing of satellites and orbital debris. This robust data simulation framework will provide improved space domain awareness solutions for objects spanning the farthest reaches of the space domain, including cislunar space, for ensuring the safety of our nation and future space missions.
