Demonstration Satellites
Abstract
The Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS) demonstration satellites collect and deliver critical space and missile characterization data used to design and inform the BMDS and space-layer future capabilities. Also funded are the facilities and activities required for safe STSS satellite operations and sustainment at the Missile Defense Space Center (MDSC). The two STSS satellites have operated past six years on orbit, exceeding the four year design life and continue to be viable MDA space assets.
