Consequently, an international effort is currently being devoted to improving the performance of the network of optical and radar sensors for space objects monitoring. Within this framework, the use of the novel bistatic radar sensor BIRALES is investigated in this work, which makes use of a multibeam receiver. The tailored orbit determination algorithm is described, which receives as input the data processed by the acquisition system, that digitally assembles measured radar echoes. The performances of the orbit determination process are assessed on a set of numerical simulations carried out on the NORAD catalogue, using a dedicated simulator of the sensor.ELETTRONICOenConference paperhttps://conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int/proceedings/sdc7/paper/959/SDC7-paper959.pdfhttps://conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int/proceedings/list?search=Performance+assessment+of+the+multibeam+radar+sensor+BIRALES+for+space+surveillance+and+tracking&conference=3&publishing-year=All&title=&author-name=&author-organisation=&abstract-full-text=&field_keywords_value=FIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
