Bistatic space-debris surveillance radar

Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) segment is the part of Space Surveillance Awareness (SSA) program of ESA (European Space Agency) dedicated to the detection and tracking of debris in orbit around the Earth. A European consortium lead by ONERA has been constituted to realize a radar demonstrator in a realistic operational environment. It has been chosen to design, to develop, to realize and to validate one bistatic breadboard system to build a demonstrator for real radar capacities for space objects detection and tracking.
