Space Test Range

Abstract

This briefing reviews the total Space Test Range concept and reminds the Range Commanders that because the Space Test Range is a global concept supported by all three services, they are all involved in it. I was selected to give the briefing because I had initiated the original concept, had the most experience in its evolution, and was currently serving as chairman of the Space Panel of the Multi-service Test Investments Review Committee (MSTIRC). This briefing reviews the need for the Space Test Range, examines the Test Resource Master Plan (TRMP) concepts, investigates the service proposals that were submitted to the Space Panel of the MSTIRC, shows the results of the MSTIRC review, and presents my 'bottom line' concerns.
