Oracle-M is a satellite developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and built by Blue Canyon Technologies to pathfind for experiments on space object detection and tracking in cislunar space. With renewed interest in lunar exploration, increased traffic to the Moon will require monitoring to ensure safety of flight and collision avoidance. Oracle-M is highly maneuverable and will transit throughout cislunar space and experiment with techniques to both detect and maintain custody of objects in this region. This mission will allow AFRL to assess strengths and weaknesses of sensors, processing algorithms, and navigation techniques needed for future operational systems. #aerospace #spacetechnology #spacedefense #smallsats #microsats #spacedomain #cislunar #siliconvalleyspaceweek
