To measure the space junk accurately the scientists in China have found a way. They have developed a space junk identification system for that. A unique set of algorithms for the laser ranging telescopes has improved the success rate of space debris detection. Laser ranging technique uses laser reflection from the objects to measure their distance. However, the echo signal from the debris is very weak.
