[PEM11-08] OD-SSA Activity at NASA's Heliophysics Division
★Invited Papers
Within the Heliophysics Division (HPD) of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) , Orbital Debris – Space Situational Awareness (OD-SSA) has been stood up as an “activity” in early 2021, with OD-SSA becoming an official part of HPD’s Space Weather Program in FY24. OD (anthropogenic debris, micro meteorites and dust) are now included in HPD’s definition of the Space Working Environment – defined as all parts of the space environment that affect human activities in space.
This talk will present an overview of the OD-SSA activities in HPD, past and present, including:
Addressing the measurement gap of <1cm OD (instrument development concepts and flight opportunities)
Mission Design Lab activities on a dedicated small OD characterization mission
New OD science – signatures of objects moving through a space plasma
