Abstract
Combination of radar and VLBI allowed obtaining the new scientific instrument for measurement of short-periodic variation of planet proper rotation and determination of the Solar system body orbits in the radio reference frame. Radar, spectral lines, low frequency, spacecraft navigation observations could benefit from this inexpensive solution in those stations where large antennas and sensitive receivers are available and where is still missing the possibility to be aligned with standard VLBI terminals, giving then yet the possibility to perform radio astronomy research. The Internet interfaces and software correlator for the near real-time VLBI radar researches were successfully tested. The echo-signals of 50 space debris objects at geostationary, high-elliptical and half-day orbits, Venus and Mars planets were detected
