Abstract
Near-Earth asteroid 1998 WT24 will have a very close approach to Earth at a distance of 0.012 AU on 16 December 2001. We are planning the radar observation of this asteroid at 6 cm wavelength with a bistatic system: Evpatoria, Crimea, 70-m dish and power transmitter --> Medicina, near Bologna, Italy, 32-m dish and two-channel receiver. The essence of this proposal is the use the above system also to make the first attempt of centimetric space debris radar detection in geostationary ring, on October-November 2001, the scheduled date of Evpatoria --> Medicina system testing.
