Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe German Space Agency at DLR e.V., Space Situational Awareness division, is conducting a market survey ahead of a possible procurement of turnkey ground stations for passive-optical observation of space debris, including control systems and software plus possible maintenance. The telescope systems are to detect and track objects in Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit and Geostationary Earth Orbit, integrate into an existing sensor network, connect to the German Space Situational Awareness Centre, and support fully automated operation. They must process measurement data automatically and deliver it in TDM format in near real time, providing angular coordinates and apparent brightness for small objects. This is an informal information request for market research only, not a call for tenders.
