What Happens When You Shoot a Bullet into the Air? – Kopfball, TV1, May 20, 2007
The German television show sets out to find the answer to what happens when a small-caliber bullet is fired straight into the air. How far does the projectile travel? Is the final impact speed dangerous enough to harm someone? Kopfball’s reporter visits a German testing range, where a Weibel ranging radar is used to measure the bullet’s speed throughout the trajectory. The radar tracks the small-caliber bullet for more than 2 km and measures the impact velocity, as shown on the Weibel WinTrack display, establishing that such a firing can prove fatal.

NASA Night Launch – CNN, December 7, 2006
The launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery will be the first night launch in four years. After the Space Shuttle Columbia accident in 2003, NASA decided that day launches were safer. However, the many restrictions on launches in the daytime have meant that NASA now is returning to night launches. NASA has spent 10 million dollars upgrading cameras and computers, as well as investing in radars. With the launch of Discovery, there will be two Weibel radars involved. They provide a very accurate way for NASA to measure the speed differentials of falling debris. For the untrained eye, the radar images may not seem like much, but experts will be able to spot falling debris in pitch darkness all the way into space.

Radar Test May Help Space Shuttle Return – Spaceflight Now, August 25, 2004
The use of high-resolution wide-band and Doppler radars has allowed NASA to observe possible debris during ascent without regard to limitations of visibility, cloud cover, and darkness. During the launch of the Messenger spacecraft, the radars proved effective in visualizing vehicle elements in high resolution and provided speedy interpretation of the images for initial data analysis following the launch.
