Abstract

We succeeded in detecting 10 cm LEO objects at 1000 km altitude with a CMOS sensor installed to the 18 cm telescope by using fast frame rate of the CMOS sensor and FPGA-based image-processing technique. The LEO survey system using numerous sets of the CMOS sensor will contribute the monitoring LEO environments which is currently done with the space surveillance network of the United States and solving the space debris problem in the future.
