Abstract

As the space activities of human beings increase, the amount of space debris is constantly increasing. The increase of space debris is making the space environment complicated, in particular, in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Each country is exerting a lot of effort toward the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) to solve such problems. For SSA, we basically need to detect and track space objects. The ground-based radars play the largest role in surveillance and tracking space objects.
