India to test its home-made multi-object tracking radar next month

Xinhua, May 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

India will next month test its home-made multi-object tracking radar on a rocket, a senior space official has reportedly said.

"The multi-object tracking radar will be tested next month during a polar satellite launch vehicle rocket flight. The formal commissioning of the system is expected to happen three months down the line," M.Y.S. Prasad of the state-owned Satish Dhawan Space Centre was quoted by the media as saying Saturday.

The state-of-the-art radar, being developed by the Satish Dhawan Space Centre will give the country's space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), ability to track 10 objects simultaneously.

The radar can also keep a tab on India's space assets and track space debris, which the space agency currently does by data provided by U.S. space agency NASA. Endi
