Astrosite is a mobile space situational awareness (SSA) module developed by the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) at Western Sydney University. It is a custom-designed mobile telescope observatory built into a standard shipping container used for tracking and detecting objects in space, including satellites and space debris. Astrosite utilizes neuromorphic camera technology, which allows it to capture objects in space with unprecedented temporal resolution, even during the day. The primary role of Astrosite is to provide data for space situational awareness and space traffic management, with potential applications in defense.
