IARPA PROGRAM DRIVING NEW CAPABILITIES TO CAPTURE CLEARER IMAGES OF SATELLITES ORBITING (VERY) HIGH ABOVE EARTH
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is developing new scientific approaches to take high-definition-like pictures of geosynchronous satellites from the ground. The goal is to better account for the behavior and movement of these high orbiting objects in space.
.
The seven array telescopes and measurement equipment will be installed at the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer in Flagstaff, Arizona, this spring, and the first image collection of GEO objects is scheduled for the summer of 2021.
