The 9th Space Debris Workshop (February 24-26, 2021. Chofu Aerospace Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(CAC), Online meeting), Chofu, Tokyo, Japan
Since the inception of space exploration, we have become increasingly dependent on the benefits that come from satellites, and nowadays, they have penetrated into our civilian lives, making satellites now an indispensable international infrastructure. While we enjoy this benefit, space exploration has generated the threat of space debris in orbit. Space Situational Awareness (SSA), which is the understanding of the space environment, object tracking, and conjunction analysis, is important for the protection and maintenance of satellites as an essential infrastructure. So far, JAXA's SSA has carried out debris observations using the radar at the Kamisaibara Space Guard Center and the optical telescope at the Bisei Space Guard Center, orbital determination of objects, risk assessment of space debris approaching JAXA's operational satellites, and space debris avoidance control operations. This presentation will introduce JAXA's efforts on SSA and the new SSA system under development and testing as it enters a transitional phase.
