U.S. to Locate Key Space Systems in Australia
By Cheryl Pellerin, American Forces Press Service
PERTH, Australia, Nov. 14, 2012 - Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta
and Australian Defense Minister Stephen Smith have agreed to place
two key space systems in Australia.
One system, an Air Force C-band space-surveillance radar, will move
from Antigua in the West Indies to Western Australia in 2014. It
will track space assets and debris, increase the security of
space-based systems and increase coverage of space objects in the
Southern Hemisphere.
The other system is an advanced U.S. space surveillance telescope
designed and built by the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency. In Australia, the system will help to leverage space
surveillance capabilities for both nations, officials said.
