Estimation of the Size of Space Debris Objects by the Value of the Radar Cross Section Variations

At the stage of tracking space debris objects, it becomes possible to obtain information on the approximate sizes of objects in terms of the average bistatic radar cross section values. We proposes a general method for estimating the size of space debris objects using the maximum likelihood function...

Summary:At the stage of tracking space debris objects, it becomes possible to obtain information on the approximate sizes of objects in terms of the average bistatic radar cross section values. We proposes a general method for estimating the size of space debris objects using the maximum likelihood function. The specific type of algorithm depends on the signal being probed.
