Collaborating with JAXA, we observed the Falcon 9 upper stage before its Moon impact
The observations refined impact predictions and improved understanding of space domain awareness in the cislunar regime, highlighting the value of international collaboration and multiple sensors

[JAXA追跡ネットワーク技術センター @TSUISEKI_JAXA]

英国国防科学技術研究所との共同観測により、Falcon 9上段を観測しました。私たちの観測結果から、この物体は8月5日06:35:30 UTCに月面へ衝突したものと考えています。このような国際協力は、シスルナ空間を含む将来の宇宙状況把握（SSA）に不可欠です。 #SSA #Cislunar
