Description

Over 6 decades of human activities in space resulted in thousands of tonnes of objects (with various sizes, shapes and materials) in Earth's orbit. There is a big challenge to detect, identify and track objects of smaller sizes (less than 10 cm) particularly in higher altitudes. This research is focusing on the possibility of using MKIDs (Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors) for developing novel tools with new capability in detection and identification of debris with small sizes in all orbits.
