Orbital Debris Radar Calibration Spheres (ODERACS) - STS-63

The Orbital Debris Radar Calibration Spheres (ODERACS) spaceflight experiments were designed to provide small, low earth orbiting (LEO) calibration targets for the ground-based radar and optical systems used for orbital debris measurements. The primary objective was to calibrate the Haystack Long Range Imaging Radar (LRIR) and validate the JSC Orbital Debris Analysis System (ODAS). These measurements and resulting data processing were a complete success.
