| Summary: | International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / September 28-30, 1982 / Sheraton Harbor Island Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California === The Air Force Satellite Control Facility (AFSCF) originated over twenty years ago, and
has evolved into a global satellite support network; this global network includes seven
Remote Tracking Station (RTS’s) and the Satellite Test Center (STC) located in
Sunnyvale, California. The AFSCF provides real-time telemetry, tracking, and command
support to Department of Defense (DOD) spacecraft and launch vehicles.
Since its inception, in response to changing DOD space support requirements, the SCF
network has grown through expansion and modernization of its tracking, data processing,
and communication capabilities. This paper discusses the past, the present, and the
impending changes to the AFSCF as it continues to evolve in support of the DOD space
programs. |
