Development of a Real-Time Monitoring System for Space Objects

摘要

Abstract This paper presents the results of the SKEYE contract 03 PSCD/2022, financed through the Sectorial Research and Development Plan of the Romanian Ministry of National Defence. The project involves the development of a Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Space Operations Centre (SPOC) together with related sensors: Robotic Astronomical observatory; quad band spectrum monitoring antenna system (X, Ku, Ka and Q bands) and GNSS spectrum monitoring network. Sensors are remotely controlled from SPOC via dedicated software platform. Moreover, at SPOC level, operational scenarios can be simulated using a dedicated software platform – AGI STK. This paper explores the system’s implementation, benefits and security implications.
