There are thousands of satellites and other artificial objects in Earth’s orbit - and that number is constantly growing, as we depend more and more on space technology to support our everyday lives.
Managing the traffic is an important part of what's known in the industry as Space Situational Awareness. On this episode, we meet a couple of Australians who are helping to stop space objects crashing into each other… or into the millions of pieces of debris flying around up there as well.
Our featured guests for this episode are Jason Held (Saber Astronautics) discussing the Responsive Space Operations Centre in Adelaide, and David Shteinman (Industrial Sciences Group) talking us through the Manoeuvre Decision Support System for predicting and averting collisions.
