  • Sapphire-Like Payload for Space Situational Awareness Final
    Sapphire-like Payload for Space Situational Awareness John Hackett, Lisa Li COM DEV Ltd., Cambridge, Ontario, Canada ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The Sapphire satellite payload has been developed by COM DEV for a Surveillance of Space mission of the Canadian Department of National Defence, which is scheduled to be launched later in 2012. This paper presents a brief overview of the payload, along with the potential for using this optical instrument as a low cost, proven Space Situational Awareness hosted payload on geostationary satellites. The Sapphire payload orbits on a dedicated satellite and hence the payload was not required to actively point. The proposed hosted payload version of Sapphire would be enhanced by incorporating a two dimensional scan capability to increase the spatial coverage. Simulations of the hosted payload version of Sapphire performance are presented, including spatial coverage, approximate sensitivity and positional accuracy for detected resident space objects. The moderate size, power and cost of the Sapphire payload make it an excellent candidate for a hosted payload space situational awareness application. 1. INTRODUCTION The Sapphire payload is described elsewhere [1] and was developed by COM DEV on a moderate budget for MDA Systems Ltd. and the Canadian Department of National Defence and is scheduled to fly in 2012. The Sapphire payload combines the SBV heritage [2] through the telescope design/contractor, with high quantum efficiency CCDs and advanced high reliability electronics. The Sapphire mission [3] was developed by the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) as part of its Surveillance of Space project. MDA Systems Ltd. was the mission prime contractor, and COM DEV was the payload prime contractor.

From its first scientific run in 2007, the Virgo detector has constantly been upgraded over the years; since 2017, with the Advanced Virgo project, the detector reached a high sensitivity that allowed the detection of several classes of sources and to investigate new physics.
