Applied Physics | Using Non-Thermal Electromagnetic Radiation to Track and Characterize Space Debris
Nilton O. Rennó, Professor of Climate & Space Sciences, Engineering Member of the College of Engineering Executive Committee, Director of the Master of Engineering in Space Engineering Program, College of Engineering, University of Michigan

Abstract:
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity’s (IARPA) Space Debris Identification and Tracking (SINTRA) program seeks to understand the interaction of orbital debris with the surrounding space environment to determine if this interaction can be used to detect, track, and characterize potentially lethal but currently non-trackable orbital space debris. I will describe the results of the University of Michigan IARPA-funded project that seeks to mature the concept that non-thermal electromagnetic radiation (NTEM) generated by colliding debris can meet SINTRA program goals.
