On the Exploitability of the Ka Band for Spaceborne Radar Debris Detection and Tracking Measurements

This paper follows the increasing demands for augmenting space-based monitoring capabilities for near-Earth Space Situational Awarness (SSA). The outline comprises an introduction to current SSA as an operative framework, with a particular focus on the possible tantalized and complementary role of Spaceborne Radars (SBR) in the Ka band.
