Abstract:
A system for detection and orbit determination of Earth orbiting objects includes a first plurality of sensors including at least one first antenna. The at least one first antenna is configured to point in a stare mode to broadcast a first detection signal at an angular region centered on an equatorial plane to maximize detection of orbiting objects regardless of altitude, grade, or inclination. The first antenna may be configured to stare at a low inclination angle, and may be configured to stare at one of due east and due west along the equator.
