Space Surveillance Telescope
Abstract
The Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) is a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program to develop an advanced ground-based optical system to enable detection and tracking of faint objects in deep space, while providing rapid, wide-area search capability. After demonstrating the successful application of state-of-the-art optical, curved charge couple device (CCD) and large telescope control technologies AFSPC will conduct a Military Utility Assessment (MUA). This budget item funds the delivery, evaluation and completion of developmental technical data in order to establish a complete technical baseline of the as-built system, required to operate and support the capability long-term. The SST system will become a contributing Space Surveillance Network sensor during the MUA and a dedicated sensor upon completion of the MUA.
