An outer space-based debris detection system may include a network of satellites. A first satellite may be configured to propagate a first series of solitary plasma waves through an outer space detection area having a debris body therein. The debris body propagates second plasma waves therefrom. A second satellite associated with the detection area may be configured to receive the first series of solitary plasma waves from the first satellite after interaction with the second plasma waves from the debris body to thereby detect the debris body.

Described are techniques for determining an impact threat of an orbiting object by a crowdsource satellite network. The techniques include capturing, by a satellite included in a crowdsource satellite network, information associated with an orbiting object detected by the satellite. The techniques further include providing, by the satellite, the information associated with the orbiting object to the crowdsource satellite network. The techniques further include collaborating by the satellite with other satellites in the crowdsource satellite network to track the orbiting object, generate an orbital model of the orbiting object, and to analyze a predicted path of the orbiting object represented by the orbital model to determine an impact threat associated with the predicted path of the orbiting object.

Provided is a method, system, and computer program product for determining a degree of impact caused by space debris. A processor may receive data from a data stream of one or more satellites, the data including observational data of one or more objects in orbit. The processor may determine, based on an analysis of the observational data, that the one or more objects are space debris. The processor may identify, based on the analyzed observational data, ownership of the one or more objects that are determined to be space debris. The processor may determine, using one or more smart contracts, a degree of impact caused by the one or more objects that are space debris, where the degree of impact is attributed to an identified owner of the one or more objects.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable simulation of imaging of resident space objects (RSOs) by one or more space-based image sensors. The simulation includes obtaining a satellite constellation configuration having satellite configuration parameters for at least one satellite in a constellation of satellites. The simulation also includes obtaining an RSO configuration having RSO configuration parameters RSOs. The simulation may use the satellite and RSO configuration parameters to simulate constellation ephemeris data for each of the satellites and RSOs. Based on the position of each RSO and satellite, detectability of each RSO by each satellite is simulated based on a photometry simulation using the satellite configuration parameters, including sensor characteristics of a simulated sensor. Imagery may also be simulated based on an image generation model, the sensor configuration, the photometry simulation and at least one background model.
