Description: Descriptions of programs, equipment and capabilities by the American Federation of Scientists.
Over the past 35 years the United States has deployed a wide range of systems for monitoring the space activities of other countries. For the most part, the primary mission of these sensors has been to provide warning of strategic missile attack. But the growing number of satellites in orbit has increased the requirement to keep track of new launches and impending decays of satellites, in order to avoid confusing these events with hostile missile launches. In addition, the increasing importance of military space operations has made the tracking and characterization of space systems a significant mission in its own right.
