Space Technology
Abstract
This PE focuses on four major areas. First, space environmental protection develops technologies to understand, mitigate, and exploit effects of weather and geophysics environments on the design and operation of Air Force systems. Second, spacecraft payload technologies improve satellite payload operations by investigating advanced component and subsystem capabilities. Third, spacecraft protection develops technologies for protecting U.S. space assets in potential hostile settings. The last major area, spacecraft vehicles, focuses on spacecraft platform and control technologies, and their interactions. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research, since it develops and determines the technical feasibility and military utility of evolutionary and revolutionary space technologies.
