This paper describes the collection and analysis of data on small space debris sensed by the Haystack radar and presents the results of measurements conducted between October 1990 and July 1992. The data are collected in the ``beam park'' mode of operation in which the radar stares in a fixed direction and debris randomly passes through the field-of-view. The analysis includes a description of the statistical relationship between radar cross section (RCS) and physical size determined from separate, controlled tests. In addition, a computer model of the response of the Haystack radar while in beam park operation is used to calculate the probability of detection and effective detection area for all sizes and orbital inclinations of debris visible to the radar.
