Space debris is a growing problem for satellites in Earth orbit. With the ever increasing number of launches this problem is likely to get worse. While large pieces of debris can be tracked from the ground small pieces of less than 1 cm are difficult and are the more numerous. MSSL is part of the newly funded Global Network on Sustainability In Space (GNOSIS) which brings academic and industrial groups together to address the issues in space debris. A detector system comprising single photon sensitive detectors with spectral resolution and able to take a full picture every few microseconds offers a potential way of identify very small pieces of debris. Such a system does not currently exist. This research project aims to identify the drivers, the system specification, how such a system could be built and possible proof of concept demonstration. Such a system will be investigated not only for ground based use at telescopes but also as a space based imaging system.

对于地球轨道中的卫星来说，太空碎片是一个日益增长的问题。随着发射次数的越来越多，这个问题可能会变得更糟。虽然可以从小于1厘米的地面小块中跟踪大块碎片，而且碎屑越多。 MSSL是新资助的空间可持续性全球（GNOSIS）的一部分，该网络将学术和工业团体聚集在一起，以解决太空碎片中的问题。一个具有光谱分辨率的单个光子敏感检测器的检测器系统，每秒钟都能全面拍摄一张微秒，这提供了一种潜在的识别非常小的碎屑的方法。这样的系统当前不存在。该研究项目旨在确定驱动因素，系统规范，如何构建这样的系统以及可能的概念证明证明。这种系统将不仅用于望远镜的基于地面的使用，而且还将作为基于太空成像系统的地面使用。
