\frame[shrink]{\frametitle{Introduction to Space Situational Awareness}	
\begin{itemize}
\item Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is defined as the thorough knowledge of the space environment, which includes the ability to track and predict the location of space objects at any time.
\item ESA outlines three aspects of SSA:
	\begin{itemize}
		\item SST: Space surveillance and tracking of resident space objects.
		\item SWE: Space weather monitoring
		\item NEO: Near-earth object detection and tracking.
\end{itemize}
\item In the context of SST, UCT's RRSG proposed a bistatic radar in South Africa,
\item UCT RRSG project: feasibility and design study for a potential bistatic radar making use of the MeerKAT radio telescope as radar receiver (Rx).
\item This paper describes the Mission Planning Tool developed to perform sensor scheduling and radar performance prediction.

\end{itemize}
