Abstract

Effective and continuous monitoring of space debris in satellite orbit is an important issue in resolving potential threats to aerospace equipment. The SDM (Space Debris Monitoring)-16803 is a front-illuminated high-readout-speed, low-noise scientific CCD camera designed for the needs of space debris monitoring telescopes. The camera is designed with drift scanning function in which mode the moving target will be presented as a static image, so that a fixed telescope can track the moving space target. The electronics of the camera provides driving signals for the CCD, samples the video signals of the CCD, and also communicates with the host computer. The maximum readout speed of the CCD is 10Mpixels. The mechanics structure of the camera is designed with a sealed chamber in which a TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) is used for cooling the sensor and provide a stable temperature.
