| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Space Force Enhancement | ISR; missile warning, environmental monitoring, satellite communications, space- based positioning, navigation and timing |
| Space Support | space life, satellite, and reconstitution operations of space forces |
| Space Control | Protect space capabilities and deny freedom of space for the adversary |
| Space Force Application | Attacks against terrestrial- based targets |
| How does the SUN affect communications | biggest effect on space environment Electromagnetic radiation, electrically charged particles |
| How does SOLAR WIND affect comms? | travels at one million mph, carrying various particles from the sun |
| How does SOLAR CYCLE affects comms? | solar activity cyclic in nature, 11 year cycle |
| How does VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS affect comms? | belt of charged particles held in place around the Earth by the Earth's magnetic field |
| How does ATMOSPHERIC DRAG affect comms? | low orbiting objects, below 1000 km, are slowed by the atmosphere, resulting in the space craft not being where it is expected and to reduce the spacecraft's altitude |
| Low Earth Orbit | 150- 800 miles above the Earth's surface |
| Medium Earth Orbit | 10,8000 miles 12 hour period |
| Highly Elliptical Orbit | satellite slows down at apogee and speeds up at perigee |
| Geosynchronous Orbit | 19,300 miles altitude remains over the same area of the Earth |
| Polar Orbit | inclination of 90 degrees |
| Apogee | farthest point of orbit from the center of the Earth |
| Perigee | Closest point of orbit of the Earth |
| 3 Main Space Launch Facilities in US | Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), California Kennedy Space Center, Florida Wallops Island, VA |
| Navy UHF Follow-on | Links ships, mobile units, and shore sights together |
| Defense Satellite Communications System | High capacity SHF satellite |
| Systems that utilize DSCS | Global Command and Control System Joint Deployable Intelligence Support System Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System Contingency TACS Automated Planning System Secure Telephone |
| GBS | Provides high data rate broadcast of data and video information products to military tactical terminals |
| WGS | Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) provides flexible, high- capacity communications for the Nation's war fighters through real world operationalization |
| Global Positioning System (GPS) | satellites broadcast navigation information on a continuous basis SPS- unencrypted civilian positioning PPS- military positioning |
| Advantages of space- based ISR | Primarily used to provide systematic focused coverage of an area of interest, |
| Disadvantages of space- based ISR | predictable over- flight schedule, atmospheric disturbance |
| Space Situational Awareness (SSA) | Characterizing the space capabilities operating within the terrestrial environment and the space domain |
| Astrometry | natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects |
| Earth Orientation Parameters | the Earth's rotation is not even |
| Role of precise time in the following: | GPS, accurate time and location with the assistance of atomic clocks |
| Role of precise time in GEO- LOCATION | greater emphasis on determining a meaningful location rather than just a set of geographic coordinates |
| Role of precise time in NETWORK SYNCHRONIZATION | crucial to a variety of economic activities around the world |
