About

Jung Hyun Jo is a leading figure in space situational awareness, specializing in the development of global robotic telescope networks for satellite observation. His most notable contribution is the creation of the OWL-Net (Optical Wide-field patrol Network), a pioneering system of robotic telescopes deployed worldwide to track and characterize objects in Earth orbit. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2018 paper (31 citations), addresses the critical challenge of monitoring space debris and active satellites, providing essential data for collision avoidance and space traffic management. Jo’s research bridges observational astronomy and aerospace engineering, enabling precise, automated tracking across multiple geographic sites. His achievements have established him as a key innovator in space surveillance, with his network serving as a model for international collaboration in protecting orbital assets.
