Avancee-1 Mission and SaDoD Method: LiDAR-based stimulated atomic disintegration of space debris (SaDoD) using Optical Neural Networks (2105.13485v1)

Abstract: The surface degradation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is affected by Atomic Oxygen (AO) and varies depending on the spacecraft orbital parameters. Atomic oxygen initiates several chemical and physical reactions with materials and produces erosion and self-disintegration of the debris at high energy. This paper discusses Avancee-1 Mission, LiDAR-based space debris removal using Optical Neural Networks (ONN) to optimize debris detection and mission accuracy. The SaDoD Method is a Stimulated Atomic Disintegration of Orbital Debris, which in this case has been achieved using LiDAR technology and Optical Neural Networks. We propose Optical Neural Network algorithms with a high ability of image detection and classification. The results show that orbital debris has a higher chance of disintegration when the laser beam is coming from Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites and in the presence of high solar activities. This paper proposes a LiDAR-based space debris removal method depending on the variation of atomic oxygen erosion with orbital parameters and solar energy levels. The results obtained show that orbital debris undergoes the most intense degradation at low altitudes and higher temperatures. The satellites in GEO use Optical Neural Network algorithms for object detection before sending the laser beams to achieve self-disintegration. The SaDoD Method can be implemented with other techniques, but especially for the Avancee-1 Mission, the SaDoD was implemented with LiDAR technologies and Optical Neural Network algorithms.
