BIRALES is a bistatic radar whose receiving part has been refurbished to synthetize up to 32 simultaneous beams in the antenna field of view. The multibeam configuration offers the possibility of estimating the track of the detected objects inside the receiver field of view by analysing the beams illumination sequence. The estimated track is then coupled with the available Doppler shift and slant range measurements. The availability of such a plethora of information is then exploited to perform initial orbit determination with a single passage of a resident space object inside the sensor field of view. This work describes BIRALES sensor setup and operation, showing the performance of the sensor in terms of observation and tracking capabilities. | Conference Name: | 25th Conference of the Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIDAA 2019) | Conference Place: | Roma, Italy | Conference Date: | 9-12 September, 2019 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30565 | URL: | https://iris.uniroma1.it/retrieve/handle/11573/1319917/1265153/Proceedings.pdf https://www.aidaa2019.com/ |
