British startup Odin Space has successfully powered up a demo sensor integrated with D-Orbit's satellite-carrying ION orbital transfer vehicle, which will be used to detect tiny orbital debris as small as one-tenth of a millimeter. The sensor's sensitivity is currently tuned to detect background vibrations from the host satellite, but will be adjusted to track sub-centimeter debris that can cause damage to spacecraft in orbit. Odin plans to launch hundreds of sensors on third-party satellites to create a high-resolution map of the debris environment and is seeking investments to expand its customer base and deploy the first phase of its sensor network.
