France’s New SSA Camera Can Spot 10-Centimeter Objects in Space

Simera Sense France is rolling out a new space situational awareness (SSA) camera designed to improve how satellites detect, track, and react to activity in orbit in real time. 

Known as SSA Scape100 Full Motion, the camera can reportedly see objects as small as 10 centimeters (4 inches) from distances of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).

That level of precision is increasingly important for assessing risks during satellite flybys, particularly in scenarios involving uncooperative or potentially hostile spacecraft.
