Abstract (en)
[origin: CA3161114A1] The invention relates to a method for tracking, by means of a space vehicle (101), a target on an orbital trajectory, the method comprising an acquisition phase (504, 505) which comprises the steps of: - activating a lidar; - acquiring signals from the lidar system, - determining data relating to the trajectory of the target from the signals emitted by the lidar, wherein the space vehicle has embarked on a trajectory (505) to approach or inspect the target, which trajectory is determined depending on the trajectory data of the target; and if the target is no longer detected, - activating a short-distance detection phase which comprises the step of: - activating a wide-field radar.
