Abstract: A process for the acquisition, by a spacecraft in terrestrial orbit, of a useful image of a space object in terrestrial orbit that is gradually approaching the spacecraft from an upstream distal region towards a proximal region is disclosed including controlling the orientation of an array-type detection sensor in order to orient it towards the space object located in the upstream distal region, acquiring, via the array-type detection sensor, a so-called detection image of the space object located in the upstream distal region, determining trajectory-tracking information on the basis of the detection image, controlling the orientation of an array-type acquisition sensor on the basis of trajectory-tracking information, in order to orient it towards the space object located in the proximal region, acquiring, via the array-type acquisition sensor, a useful image of the space object located in the proximal region.
