Its sensors are designed to detect pieces of space shrapnel as small as one-tenth of a millimeter, traveling at the speed of a bullet.
It's important to build detection capabilities, though, because these pieces of orbital shrapnel travel around Earth at the speed of a bullet, meaning they have the potential to cause serious damage to satellites, space stations, and orbital spacecraft.
Ultimately, the company's goal is to launch hundred of its sensors aboard third-party satellites in order to build a dynamic, high-resolution map of the sub-centimeter debris environment around Earth.Odin Space's demo sensor is designed to operate for approximately two months of D-Orbit's roughly two-year mission.
