Abstract
This paper summarizes an ongoing Georgia Tech effort to provide a cislunar space domain awareness (SDA) solution based on distributed space-based sensors that complement existing Earth-based assets. Distributed space-based SDA architectures complement one another via a diverse constellation geometry to overcome the sensing limitations of any single architecture. Our unique technical approach to this solution focuses on analyzing the links to a "Cislunar Custody Chain" via a diverse team of sensor, policy, and orbital dynamics experts. Our analysis will provide solutions towards creating the best actionable policy knowledge given the challenges of tracking and detecting objects within the Cislunar volume.
