ISS Radar Experiment
I have an idea for an experiment.
Why dont we try to track the Space Station uplinking a strong signal against it and listening to the passively reflected downlink?
I am sure that some of us could also compute the ISS trajectory and make home brew keplerian elements just examining the doppler effect.

VA7MM 1296 Mhz Successful ISS BOUNCE EXPERIMENT
VA7MM in a joint experiment with Cor Maas, VE7BBG (Duncan, B.C.), used their 23cm EME stations to bounce a signal off the International Space Station on May 16, 2004, ISS Orbit 31330.Here is the link to VA7MM's EME web pagehttp://www3.telus.net/public/va7mm/eme/You can also download a audio file of the signal reception.WOW!!!
SUPER COOL!!!!
SUPER COOL!!!!
Thanks for sharing that link with us
That is possible
There is a strong space survelliance radar along the Southeast US. It transmits on 216.98 MHz
