Abstract

Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) is the ability to detect and predict the movement of space debris in orbit around the Earth. SPOOK (SPace Object Observations and Kalman filtering) is a versatile and highly configurable software tool developed by Airbus, for the detection, cataloguing and orbit prediction analysis of Earth orbiting objects. It provides an integrated framework for all the activities related with SST sensor architecture simulation. Throughout this paper, the functionalities of the tool are described and examples of different simulation scenarios are provided.
