The Navy's many contributions to the current national
effort in space have been generated primarily as a bonus
from m any years of intense but normal research effort,
The organ ization with the longest
time in this space program is the
Naval Observatory. I ts work and
contributions in the extrem ely accurate plotting of celestial bodie<l
for use as basic time and navigation
standards is well known. The additional wealth of information on
celestial machanics and othe r related ast ronomical fi elds developed
by the N a va l Observatory is proving invaluable to Un i ted States
space effo rts.
A Dark F en ce
The Navy space s urve illance sys tem, SPASUR, stret ches across the
sou thern United Sta t es. It is some 4
times called Dark F ence because of
its ability to d et eet a nd obtain orbita l data on non radiating satellites.
SPASUR has been d eveloped under
the sponsorship of the Advanced
Research Projects Agency by t he
U. S. N aval R esea rch Laboratory.
All earth orbiting satellites a re und er const a nt obse rvation by the
SPASUR system, and any n ew
earth orbiting vehicle which cross es t he "Fence" will immediately be
detected and added t o the d isplay
p a ttern. T he SPASUR system is
currently fur n ish i n g operationa l satellite data t o th e fl eet, so that
tactics and countermeasures can be
perfect ed.
The Navy constructed and is operating t he two complexes of the
system, each consisting of two r eceivers and one tra nsm itter . The
receivers are separated by 500 miles
or 250 mil es on either side of the
transmitte r.
These complexes are tied i n to
the Space Surveillan ce Operations
Center at the N aval Wea pons Laborato!")', Dahlgren, Va ., w hi c h
monitors the d ata obtained by the
receiving stations of the system.
At this Ope ra tions C enter, with the
assistance of a computer , the data
is analyzed, the signals identi fied
a nd the orbits of unknown or n ew
satellites d ete rmined. This inform a ti on on rSat elli tes cr ossing th e sys ·
t ern is automatically sto red in the
computer and constitutes w hat is
called the "Space Catalog:' Thi s
catalog forms the bas is of a display 011 a m a p of the earth which
s hows the in st a ntaneous position of
a tl satellites in orbit. C omple t ely
a utom atic ope ra tion of th e surveilJance system and Opera tions Cen ter is vis ualized in the fu tUre.
