Space Surveillance Telescope (SST)
Abstract
Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) provides rapid un-cued search, detection, and tracking of dim objects in deep space, collecting data on all viewable objects in the Indo-Pacific region. As a combined program with Australia's Department of Defence, per the 2013 USSECDEF and AUSMINDEF SST Partnership MOU, SST improves detection and characterization of friendly and enemy military space activities; improves orbital safety of flight during maneuver, separation, conjunction assessment, and proximity operations; and improves support to defensive and offensive counterspace operations addressing critical space domain awareness gaps.
