Indigenous radar to be ready soon to track Space : ISRO

[TimeTraveller]

The totally indigenous Rs. 240-crore multi-object tracking radar, which
was developed and built by scientists of the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) and some industries of the country, will be ready
for operation during the first quarter of 2015.

“The electronics, mechanical structure and radom of the radar are ready
and integration of all components will start during the month-end. This
is the first totally indigenous multi-object tracking radar,” SHAR-ISRO
Associate Director and Project Director of the radar V. Seshagiri Rao
said here on Monday.

“The new radar which will operate from Sriharikota range can track
nearly 10 objects simultaneously in a distance as far as 1000 km in
space, while the conventional radars spot a single object at a time.
This is useful in many ways since it can detect 10 objects at a time and
in case space debris is approaching an Indian satellite, the path of
satellite can be diverted to avoid collision and damage,” Mr. Seshagiri
Rao explained about the radar while talking to /The Hindu./

“Antenna of a radar would move to track an object but in the case of the
new multi-object tracking radar, its 12×6 meter antenna does not move
but its electronic beam moves,” he said about the radar.

Since ISRO is saying it
It will defienetly be ready by then

“The new radar which will operate from Sriharikota range can track nearly 10 objects simultaneously in a distance as far as 1000 km in
space, while the conventional radars spot a single object at a time.

Not just getting it ready in time, merely getting it ready in itself will be a great achievement!

Amazing! I wish LRDE develop such a radar to track ICBMs
