AF Funded ORSSats
Abstract
Operationally Responsive Space projects were optimized for prioritized theater use and/or surge, augmentation and replenishment of traditional space capabilities. The ORS Concept of Operations (CONOPS) drives the need for satellites featuring high degrees of modularity, standard interface vehicles, and the use of plug and play payloads and buses. The Air Force will continue to maintain ORS-1, launched 29 Jun 2011 to respond to USCENTCOM’s urgent need, validated by USSTRATCOM, to provide ISR for theater warfighters. The additional ORS Office efforts of maturing enabling elements will be descoped and the knowledge base will be transitioned as appropriate to other space programs including Global Positioning System, Advanced EHF Milsatcom, Space Based Infrared System, Space Control Technology, and the rest of the space architecture. ORS is working with the University of Hawaii’s (U of H) Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory (HSFL) and Sandia National Laboratory on the Low Earth Orbit Nanosatellite Integrated Defense Autonomous Systems (LEONIDAS) program. LEONIDAS is to design, fabricate, launch, and perform on-orbit operations of small and micro-satellites for early detection of missile launches by hostile forces.
