Book Description
The development of deep space surveillance technology and its later application to near-Earth surveillance, covering work at Lincoln Laboratory from 1970 to 2000. In the 1950s, the United States and the Soviet Union raced to develop space-based intelligence gathering capability. The Soviets succeeded first, with SPUTNIK I in 1957. The United States began to monitor the growing Soviet space presence by developing technology for the detection and tracking of man-made resident space objects (RSOs) in near-Earth orbit. In 1972, the Soviet Union launched a satellite into deep space orbit, and the U.S. government called on MIT Lincoln Laboratory to develop deep space surveillance technology. This book describes these developments, as well as the later application of deep space surveillance technology to near-Earth surveillance, covering work at Lincoln Laboratory on space surveillance from 1970 to 2000. The contributors, all key participants in developing these technologies, discuss topics that include narrow beam, narrow bandwidth radar for deep surveillance; wide bandwidth radar for RSO monitoring; ground-based electro-optical deep space surveillance and its adaptation for space-based surveillance; radar as the means of real-time search and discovery techniques; methods of analyses of signature data from narrow bandwidth radars; and the collision hazard for satellites in geosynchronous orbit, stemming initially from the failure of TELSTAR 401. They also describe some unintended byproducts of this pioneering work, including the use of optical space surveillance techniques for near-Earth asteroid detection. Contributors Rick Abbott, Robert Bergemann, E.M. Gaposchkin, Israel Kupiec, Richard Lambour, Antonio F. Pensa, Eugene Rork, Jayant Sharma, Craig Solodyna, Ramaswamy Sridharan, J. Scott Stuart, George Zollinger

Book Description
The digital age is also a surveillance age. Today, computerized systems protect and manage our everyday life; the increasing number of surveillance cameras in public places, the computerized loyalty systems of the retail sector, geo-localized smart-phone applications, or smart traffic and navigation systems. Surveillance is nothing fundamentally new, and yet more and more questions are being asked: Who monitors whom, and how and why? How do surveillance techniques affect socio-spatial practices and relationships? How do they shape the fabrics of our cities, our mobilities, the spaces of the everyday? And what are the implications in terms of border control and the exercise of political power? Surveillance and Space responds to these modern questions by exploring the complex and varied interactions between surveillance and space. In doing so, the book also advances a programmatic reflection on the very possibility of a ‘political geography of surveillance’.

Book Description
This study of Space Surveillance, Asteroids and Comets, and Space Debris is a study that is separable into three parts, each of which is sufficiently complex to be a study of its own. It was requested by Commander, Air Force Space Command, and approved by the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Because increased knowledge of asteroids and comets as well as debris depends on an enhanced space surveillance system, the unifying subject is that of space surveillance. This document reports the Committee's findings on Space Surveillance. Space Control is an important element of future Air Force activity. Space Surveillance that can provide accurate and timely information on every object in space is a fundamental need of Space Control. This study describes today's Satellite Surveillance Network, which mainly consists of sensors deployed for missile attack warning and makes use of technology now several decades old. The present radars, with some modest upgrades and proper calibration, could perform superior earth satellite surveillance, if the processing capability were updated to realize the inherent detection and orbit determination accuracies of the sensors. Deep-space surveillance is dependent on optical sensors deployed in locations around the world that could provide a timely search capability for new or maneuvering objects. This study provides recommendations that can vastly improve Air Force surveillance capabilities at modest cost. - Ultimately, Space Surveillance should be conducted from space to obtain worldwide coverage and to ensure timely data without the need for surveillance and tracking stations on foreign soil. This study recommends steps to be taken immediately.

Book Description
DOD uses the U.S. space surveillance network to track active and inactive satellites and space debris generated from launch vehicles and satellite breakups, and the agency catalogs and provides these data to DOD organizations, U.S. government agencies, and commercial and foreign entities to ensure safe and effective operations. The network has been tracking space objects since 1957, when the former Soviet Union launched Sputnik. DOD also relies on the space surveillance network for warning when a foreign satellite becomes a threat to military operations and for information to support responsive measures. The network collects and processes the space surveillance data and sends an unclassified portion to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The data sent to NASA are combined with a small amount of NASA's own data and made available to users without charge on a NASA website. NASA provides information at various levels of detail. This ranges from general space surveillance data accessed by recreational space enthusiasts who register for access which resulted in over 100,000 "hits" to the web site per month in 2001 to much more specific and extensive data accessed only by twenty-one registered "super users." Some users request even more extensive data and analysis; NASA reviews and forwards these requests to the U.S. Space Command for further analysis. Currently, NASA spends about $200,000 annually to provide space surveillance support through its Web site.

Book Description
In this book, Patrick Norris responds to the 50th Anniversary of the dawn of the Space Age – the launch of Sputnik 1 – with a review of the most important historical applications of space science for the benefit of the human race during that half century, focusing on the prevention of nuclear war. In developing this story Norris illuminates a little-known aspect of the Space Age, namely the military dimension.
