A system of recording the motion parameters of large and small objects under the conditions of outer space

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Detection of dust particles and large objects by means of a stereoscopic optical system is described. The interaction of light with the study objects, transformation of the light flux into the signals of a CCD array, and processing of information from the arrays are considered. Calculations of the precision of the system are presented. Sensors with a novel design and prediction algorithms for calculation of the position of an object are used to reduce the load on the computer.
