Space-Based Optical Observations on Space Debris via Multipoint of View

In this paper, the space debris catalogue in LEO is fulfilled using multipoint of view (MPOV) observations constructed by a spacecraft formation. The dual-point of view (DPOV) observation is employed because it has higher cost-benefit ratio than other MPOV methods, and it required that the target is...
