Optical Tracking

Optical tracking is a powerful technique for monitoring satellites and space debris using ground-based telescopes. Our team at UNSW has developed advanced algorithms for image processing and orbit determination.

Project Highlights

  • Developed a custom tracking pipeline for faint objects.
  • Collaborated with the UNSW School of Physics for telescope access.
  • Published results in leading journals.

Telescope Setup Our ground-based optical telescope at UNSW.

Tracking Results Sample tracking results of a low-Earth orbit satellite.
