UK's ODIN Space Successfully Tests Space Junk Tracking System in Orbit

ODIN Space, a London-based company, has successfully demonstrated its new method of tracking tiny pieces of space junk in orbit. The company's debris sensor, integrated into the D-Orbit ION satellite, picked up faint acoustic vibrations from its host satellite during its first demonstration test. ODIN aims to track sub-centimeter debris, which poses threats to satellites and space infrastructure. The technology will be scaled up for commercial use, allowing for tracking of debris as small as 1/250th of an inch and improving situational awareness for satellites in Earth orbit.
