American telescopes to find garbage, space in the sky over Australia in a new defense agreement. Controlling the Hubble can explore an area with dimensions of rooms in the United States, in seconds, that the search for small space debris that could threaten military satellites into orbit.

"We appreciate the collaboration with Australia that allows us to extend our reach and complex consciousness share our advances in surveillance of space technology," said Travis Blake, Manager of the United States Defense Advanced research projects Agency, he built the telescope. "This effort to development of technology can benefit both countries if catalog and remove the entire set of objects currently in orbit geosynchronous uncharted in Australia".

Contract from DARPA with the Australian Defense Ministry makes 180,000 pounds telescope - weighs a whopping 41 SUV's size medium and transported in agreement with detect and catalogue of unreleased space debris. It is the latest in a series of agreement estadounidense-australiana to follow on the dangers in space.

The telescope tracked objects in geosynchronous orbit around 22,000 km high completed in 2011. The sensitive eye could detect a laser pointer small, polished near New York's Empire State building from afar as Miami.

Data of monitoring of space telescopes will be introduced in the United States air force system space - a surveillance network surveillance radar from space 29, sensors designed to track closely from collisions with satellites and probes and telescopes. NASA also get a chance to look at data from the telescope for signs of small asteroids.

But the air force only 30000 and 500000 network can track space objects orbiting the Earth. The challenge has forced the DARPA to record a global network of astronomers amateurs in the new space program, seen as part of the hunt for space junk.
