Abstract

As countries embark on a new wave of unmanned and manned lunar exploration,lunar space becomes increasingly crowded and the need for Cislunar space debris detection becomes more and more intense.In this paper,the current lunar debris in lunar orbit is introduced.The main international equipment for Cislunar space debris detection is introduced,including the Goldstone Solar system radar,Arecibo planetary radar and Green Bank Observatory planetary radar.The achievements of these radar systems for lunar debris detection are also introduced.Combined with the technical status of the main equipment of the deep space network and the radio astronomy observation network,the development suggestions of the equipment construction of Cislunar space debris detection are put forward,by using the deep space network and the radio astronomy observation network.
