Summary:
This paper describes the detection of the position of a space debris impact on a space structure via microwave. Microwaves are received by two antennas. We estimate the arrival direction by the delay time on the basis of a cross correlation between the received signals. The experimental result shows that it is possible to estimate the delay time. The delay time is 5.3 nsec, which agrees well with the delay value calculated from the geometry of the experimental set-up.
