Abstract
It is suggested development of the pulse radar for forecasting of asteroid danger, cataloguing of the space litter, investigation of the corona, circumsolar and interplanetary plasma as well as for radio astronomic research of the deep space on the basis of radio systems at National Center for Spacecraft Control and Testing of Ukraine. It is demonstrated that at using of large-dimension antennas like ÀDU-1000 and P-400 this radar is capable to detect the objects with minimal dimensions of ~ 0.7 cm at the wavelength of ~ 30 cm and at altitudes of ~ 105 m. Spatial resolution on the Sun disk is ~ 103 km.

KEY WORDS: radar investigation, antenna, microwaves, space litter
