Comments: SBSS is equipped with an 11.8-inch (30-cm) telescope and 24 megapixel focal plane to image the sky and provide analysts the data they need to keep better tabs on space debris and guard against accidental collisions. The SBSS has a seven-year design life, and additional surveillance satellites could be envisioned to further improve the observing capacity.
