Regards, Cees And it would be good if someone reached out to them to see if any of them would be interested in participating with See Sat. It is a little surprising that the Royal Astronomical Society would not know more about the advantages and limitations of simple tracking set ups (like the one I have) and the limitations in observing small debris items. Having run a large radar tracking station (a BMEWS in Alaska) what is needed for small debris items is a radar - especially a more modern phased array. LeoLabs has demonstrated that a fairly inexpensive one is still very capable.
