Abstract

The objective of this PhD is to develop methods for estimating physical properties (shape, size, materials…) and the attitude of Earth orbiting objects. In the frame of Space Traffic Management (STM), this PhD also aims at developing methods for predicting the population of orbiting objects, quantifying the orbital capacity and mitigating the risk of in-orbit collisions.
