Currently there is a big amount of objects surrounding our orbit and that number its increasing each day, every time we send a new satelite we are leaving more elements in space that are <strong>very hard to observe from the Earth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this satelites stop working they travel out of control and could possibly desintegrate, threatening other satelites that are still working and also endanger future space missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfWhats the proposed solution?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of this space surveillance investigation is to develop a new technology of scalable neuromorphic cameras to track moving space objects at a <strong>very high resolution<\/strong>, without precedent, at a TERAPIXEL level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will allow us to <strong>monitor and catalog even the tiniest objects<\/strong> that orbit our sky at all times, which is imposible with the current technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, we would become <strong>pioneers<\/strong> in space awareness, taking advantage of the benefits of Chileans skies beyond mere astronomical observation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qommtrue.cl\/optolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/COCTELS-final-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1190\" width=\"398\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qommtrue.cl\/optolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/COCTELS-final-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/qommtrue.cl\/optolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/COCTELS-final-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/qommtrue.cl\/optolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/COCTELS-final-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qommtrue.cl\/optolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/COCTELS-final-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/qommtrue.cl\/optolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/COCTELS-final-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CsZhccpPD3O\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram post about COCTELS<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project was awarded the funding \u00abFondecyt Regular\u00bb, and its looking forward to establish a space monitoring system, throught computational imaging.
