TL;DR
This paper demonstrates the use of passive radar with the Murchison Widefield Array for space surveillance, showing it can measure orbital parameters and aid in space situational awareness.
Contribution
It presents an experimental validation of passive radar for space monitoring and introduces methods to estimate six orbital parameters.
Findings
Passive radar can detect space objects effectively.
Orbital parameters can be estimated from passive radar data.
The approach enhances space situational awareness capabilities.
Abstract
In this paper we build upon recent work in the radio astronomy community to experimentally demonstrate the viability of passive radar for Space Situational Awareness. Furthermore, we show that the six state parameters of objects in orbit may be measured and used to perform orbit characterisation/estimation.
