researchers from the Sydney University have developed a space surveillance system which aims to prevent satellites colliding in orbit . The system , called the Astrosite , is modelled on the way the human eye 's photoreceptors detect changes and process information . The technology is capable of capturing images in temporal resolution both in real - time and during daylight hours . The researchers believe the system has a number of other benefits , such as providing imaging in low - visibility environments and enabling the high - speed tracking of objects .
