Space Surveillance Network edit ]

The United States Space Surveillance Network , a division of the United States Strategic Command since the beginning of the space age with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1956.(SSN) is following objects orbiting the earth. Since then, SSN has tracked more than 26,000 objects. SSN is currently tracking more than 6,000 artificial satellites. The rest have re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and become isolated, or have remained intact during re-entry and crashed into the Earth. SSN tracks objects with a diameter of 10 centimeters or more; This includes the cost of a rocket weighing just 10 pounds, with a few tons of artificial satellites currently orbiting the Earth. About seven percent of the active satellites (i.e. ~ 560 satellites), all the rest are space debris . [15] The U.S. Strategic Command is primarily interested in active satellites, but also tracks space debris that may be mistaken for incoming missiles.



Service edit ]

There are three primary categories of satellite (civilian) services: [16]

Fixed satellite service edit ]

Static satellite services handle hundreds of billions of voice, data, and video transmissions across specific points on Earth's surface across countries and continents.

Mobile satellite services edit ]

In addition to serving as a navigation system, mobile satellite systems help connect remote areas, vehicles, ships, people and aircraft to other parts of the world or to other mobile or stationary communications units.

Scientific Research Satellite (commercial and noncommercial) edit ]

Scientific research satellites provide information on weather data, land survey data (e.g. remote sensing), amateur (HAM) radio, and other scientific research applications such as geology, marine science, and atmospheric research.

Type edit ]

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
