A Study on Space Debris Observation System Using Radio Telescope

Article Preview

Abstract:

The capability of space debris observation system using radio telescope was analysed in the present paper. The special bi-static observation system includes radar and large radio telescope. Detectable range of fixed RCS targets and detection ability of small space debris at fixed range were discussed respectively. The simulations of this particular observation system were implemented. The simulating results were approximately correct comparing with the actual Effelsberg experiments. The analysis of this paper gives a theoretical basis of space debris observation by domestic large radio telescope.
