On behalf of the Federal Government the German Space Administration (DLR RFM) commissioned the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR) in 2015 to design and develop a phased–array based radar for monitoring the low Earth orbit. This so-called German Experimental Space Surveillance and Tracking Radar (GESTRA) will support the German Space Situational Awareness Centre to generate a catalogue of orbital data for all objects with a minimum radar cross section (RCS) at altitudes of less than 3000 km.
