Abstract
Since space debris could post a significant threat to orbiting objects around the Earth, their reorganization, measurement, and catalogue are of great importance. This paper establishes a 3-D inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging geometry and signal model for space debris. Then, a 3-D imaging algorithm is proposed to realize coherent imaging in the range-slow-time domain. This algorithm is based on the complex-valued back-projection transform according to the spinning nature of space debris. The simulation results for both point scattering and continuous targets have proved the validity of the proposed algorithm.
