Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) Developmental/Operational Test and Evaluation (DT&E/OT&E)
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 Indio-Pacific region. As a combined program with Australia's Department of Defense, per the 2013 USSECDEF and AUSMINDEF SST Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (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.
