Since the beginning of space travel, an enormous amount of man-made garbage has accumulated in space, so-called space debris. This scrap poses an ever-increasing threat to satellites and spacecraft. Even centimeter-sized particles can develop destructive force in a collision with a satellite. The space-based detection of space debris was defined as the secondary objective of DLR's astronomical mission AsteroidFinder, the primary objective of which is to detect near-Earth asteroids. The space-based observation has the advantage that no atmosphere can interfere with the detection of the particles. It is therefore possible to record those particles that cannot be detected by the ground-based observation systems. The present work analyzes the satellite camera of the AsteroidFinder mission with regard to its suitability for space-based detection of space debris. The analysis is carried out from both a radiometric and statistical point of view and takes into account all diffraction impairments caused by the optics. Although the mission's optical imaging sensor system is not tailored to space debris detection, the results show that space-based detection of space debris is not only possible, but also worth using the camera for this purpose.
