TSAMTO, November 26. A total of six radar stations (radars) monitoring space objects "Sula" is enough to detect and monitor all space debris around the Earth.

This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by Alexander Kuzin, First Deputy General Director of Radiophysics (the leading enterprise of the Almaz-Antey concern for radio engineering and radar).

In Russia, the promotion of this newest radar to the foreign market began in 2021, the agency notes.

"The observation range of the station is up to 6 thousand km, the S range, the space scanning sector is from 0 to 180 degrees, azimuth from 0 to 360 degrees. In a word, to detect all the garbage around the Earth, it is enough to have only six such stations," A. Kuzin said.

He noted that at a distance of 400 km, at which the ISS flies, Sula can "see" an object, for example, like a fountain pen with a length of 10 cm and a diameter of one centimeter, recognize it and transmit information to the operator.

According to him, the uniqueness of the station is also in its modular construction, that is, the possibility of scaling depending on the size of the antenna, which can be reduced or increased. An active phased array is used, which allows you to capture and classify targets, RIA Novosti reports.
