Tracking and classifying objects in the space domain is important for the military due to increased concern of congestion from commercial and national interests. This research use a 100-lines-per-millimeter diffraction grating to perform slitless spectroscopy across a network of telescopes to collect satellite spectral signatures. The pixel-to-wavelength relationship for the diffraction gratings are characterized using calibration stars with known spectral features. Once calibrated, the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) telescopes are used to observe manmade satellites with the goal to characterize them based on their reflected spectra.
