Space-Based Optical Observations on Space Debris via Multipoint of View by Zhao Li, Yidi Wang, Wei Zheng

“…The dual-point of view (DPOV) observation is employed because it has higher cost-benefit ratio than other MPOV methods, and it required that the target is detectable for multiple optical sensors simultaneously. This condition is matched by designing the orbit of formation and the installation angles of sensors without frequent attitude maneuvers. …”
