Abstract
As more missions occupy the Cislunar region, the need for enhanced space domain awareness grows. Proven methods of space domain awareness used close to the Earth do not directly translate to the Cislunar region due to the vast size and complex dynamics. Alternatively, the strategic placement of observational spacecraft within the Cislunar realm will be key to survey regions of interest, including key orbits and hot spots on the Lunar surface. This investigation places an observer spacecraft across a selection of Cislunar orbit families to assess its performance in tracking a designated target. The feasibility of a real-world application is further assessed by considering the illumination conditions of the target for observations.
