Analysis of Observing Strategy for Monopulse Tracking Radar in Stare Mode

Due to high relative orbital velocities, centimeter-sized debris can seriously damage or disable an operational spacecraft. These debris are mainly detected by monopulse tracking radar in stare mode. In this paper, the orbit determination method in this situation was derived, accordingly the proper strategy of observation was analyzed, Last, the suggestion for selecting azimuth and elevation angles of radar was provided.
