The rising number of artificial objects orbiting Earth—ranging from inactive satellites to fragmented rocket parts—poses a serious risk to active spacecraft and the safety of future missions. Our project aims to detect and position space debris by analyzing celestial imagery using a combination of OpenCV and simulated star tracker data.
This tool can help in:

Reducing collision risk for satellites and space missions.

Enabling early warning and avoidance strategies for space agencies and private operators.

Providing a foundation for scalable, ground-based or small-satellite-based debris monitoring systems.
