Development of lidar system based on nanosatellite for composition of 3D space debris map

Abstract

Abstract A CubeSat mission is described in this paper, which deals with the space debris identification, classification and aggregation. The mission is responsible for debris observation close to the most populated orbit by on-board laser illuminator (lidar) system. An optical scheme of lidar was described. The energy balance and range of work were calculated. The architecture and properties of CubeSat are based on the multi-purpose block-modular platform «Synergy» [1].
