Radar systems for monitoring objects in geosynchronous orbit [electronic resource] / by Chuck Livingstone. [Ottawa] : Defence Research and Development Canada, c2013. xvi, 76 p. : figures, graphs, tables. Technical report ; 2013-009 "June 2013." Includes bibliographical references. Current deep-space surveillance systems are incapable of detecting small (~30cm) debris objects in the geosynchronous orbit belt that contains active geostationary satellites. Because of battery and residual fuel explosions in derelict spacecraft and rocket bodies in this orbit regime, small debris objects are expected to exist and to pose a hazard to the increasing population of geostationary satellites. gccst Technical reports gccst Radar Defence R&D Canada.
