In fact, other than cause serious damages to these structures, new collisions could exponentially increase the amount of debris and so the level of threat represented by the objects. To avoid new impacts, the monitoring of the space environment with space-based and ground-based measurement campaigns is necessary. The ground-based measurement can be implemented with optical or radar technologies. In this paper the upgrade of the Italian BIRALES radar system for space debris, that initially performed only Doppler measurements, is described. With its new features the BIRALES will be able to perform even range measurements. | Conference Name: | 2018 22nd International Microwave and Radar Conference (MIKON) | Conference Place: | Poznan, Poland | Conference Date: | 14-17 May, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34768 | URL: | http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85050734782&partnerID=MN8TOARS https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8405212 |
