  • Abstract
    Our radar monitoring of small Earth-orbiting debris at NASAs Goldstone Tracking Station has been extended to an altitude of 3200 km. Many of the observed particles lie in clusters ; the largest of which appears to be remnants of the West Ford Needles, launched over 3 decades earlier, and originally designed to have reentered the Earths atmosphere long ago.
