In the news | UAF scientist pioneers new satellite A groundbreaking?project by a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF)?scientist aims to revolutionise space debris detection. In a significant step towards safeguarding vital satellite infrastructure, researchers are developing a satellite capable of tracking debris as small as one centimetre, a feat currently beyond the reach of ground-based systems. UAF's Paul Bernhardt and University of Calgary researchers have developed a method to track space debris using plasma disturbances and wave analysis. The “Space Debris Hunter” satellite will detect debris using sensors and analyse frequency shifts to predict its path and enable collision avoidance, which is crucial as satellite numbers grow. #spacedebris #spacenews #spacetechnology *Image courtesy of Paul Bernhardt
