Microwave emission due to a hypervelocity impact has been detected using direct detection and heterodyne detection schemes. This phenomena could be used as tools to study hypervelocity impacts or to sense space debris collisions to spacecraft. The projectile is a cylinder of 1cm diameter and 1 cm length of the polycarbonate material, and is accelerated by a rail-gun which utilizes the electromagnetic force due to the current in plasma. Obtained velocity was 6.9 km/sec.
