    Abstract
  • This is the first space debris observation experiment using 930MHz Europe Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) UHF Radar in China. For the purpose of analyzing the discrepancy of tristatic RCS (Radar Cross Section), taking observation satellite named OSCAR-3 as an example, the standard European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) ionospheric radar experiment model is used. The results showed that the RCS precision from Sodanky radar is five times higher than that from Tromso radar; according to the forecast debris model of National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the theoretical antenna pattern, the revised RCS is referential when the U.S. Space Surveillance Network does not provide RCS results. Results of the present work confirm that the tristatic radar could provide higher precision RCS than monostatic.
