Anduril says its first satellite can see adversaries maneuver in orbital night
摘要
Anduril公司宣布其首颗卫星Anduril-216成功演示了一种新型星载传感器，旨在追踪可能在地球阴影中隐藏机动的航天器。该卫星于7月通过SpaceX拼车任务发射，搭载边缘计算处理器、可适配不同任务的电源管理系统及长波红外空间传感器。卫星运行在约590公里高度，每圈轨道约三分之一时间处于黑暗中，其红外成像器在夜间段可发挥作用。此次技术演示由Anduril
Anduril Industries has announced the successful demonstration of a new satellite-based sensor designed to track other spacecraft that may be hiding their maneuvers in Earth's shadow.
Funded with Anduril's internal capital, the company's oven-sized satellite launched on a SpaceX rideshare mission in July with a package of tech demo payloads: an edge-compute processor, a power-management system adaptable to different types of missions, and a long-wave ,infrared space sensor capable of seeing other objects in orbit.
Anduril reported on the success of the tech demo mission Tuesday. The company's satellite, named Anduril-216, flies about 590 km (366 mi) above Earth, spending about one-third of each orbit in darkness. Anduril-216's night passes allow its infrared imager to shine.
