Is it true that radar can be used to detect and track asteroids?

Yes. Radar technology is widely established and utilized for detecting, tracking, and determining the physical properties and orbits of near-Earth asteroids.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is a specific empirical statement about the use of radar for asteroid detection and tracking. Papers [5] and [6] directly discuss the use of radar systems (such as ground-based radar and Goldstone radar data) for asteroid astrometry, sizing, and orbit refinement, fully supporting the claim.
