Abstract

The space-based long-distance ranging of space debris will help to avoid collision. Compared with radar and telescope, the infrared binocular monitoring system can track and range space debris quickly. Because the measurement range is related to the baseline length, two cameras are placed on different satellites. Due to the lack of rigid connection between satellites, femtosecond laser ranging is used to measure the attitude of the camera.
