Air Force Space Surveillance System
|
The U.S. Air Force operates a line of high-power transmitters and high-gain receiving systems across the U.S. that creates a "fence" of upward-looking radar coverage to detect objects in space. The Space Surveillance System is used to track Earth-orbiting spacecraft and catalog space debris.
The radar operations are allowed by virtue of footnote US241(b) to the table of frequency allocations.
