Physics

Scientific paper

This paper presents an overview on radar techniques for the observation of space debris in low Earth orbits which were developed at FGAN in the frame of DARA and ESA/ESOC study contracts for the employment of the Tracking and Imaging Radar (TIRA) system in the past five years. For space debris observations TIRA is mainly operated in two different modes: In a tracking mode and in a beam-park mode of operation. Methods and algorithms were developed to analyse raw radar data, to compute radar images, and to estimate physical characteristics of space objects like size, shape, attitude, orbit, orbital lifetime, ballistic coefficient, mass, and material composition.
