Scientific paper

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS was launched in 1983 to perform a sky survey at wavelengths of 10 to 100 microns. Even though the design of both telescope and data processing tried to filter out responses due to transient events, orbital debris has been detected, and identified because of its movement with respect to the celestial background. The full unprocessed IRAS data is proposed to be reanalyzed in order to characterize the infrared emission of orbital debris objects, and to extract a comprehensive set of debris sightings.
