The scientific focus

From question to method.

The SΞNSIT work models observation opportunities across ground and space-based sensors and studies how measurements contribute to catalog build-up and maintenance.

Methods and themes

  • Optical and radar observation modelling
  • Track association and catalog maintenance
  • Network simulation and sensor constraints

The diagrams on this site illustrate observation geometry. They are not operational detections or measured research results.
