Space Situational Awareness and Launch

Abstract

The Space Technology Development and Prototyping effort will develop and demonstrate a prototype proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) communications and data transport layer and its sub-constellations to provide the eight capabilities outlined in the DoD Space Vision. Developing and fielding a pLEO space architecture will significantly improve U.S. resilience posture in space. The Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Launch project will further support this vision of enhanced resilience. Global and near real-time SSA will provide a detailed understanding of the space order of battle and a responsive launch capability to enable rapid constitution or replenishment of space capabilities.
