BACARDI: A System to track Space Debris

Kurzfassung

We present the "Backbone Catalogue of Relational Debris Information" (BACARDI) as an effort of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to keep track of cooperative and uncooperative orbital objects. Key features of BACARDI are a database storing information about all known orbital objects, and a set of processing services that produce orbit information and different products like collision warnings.
