The Sbirs is being designed to provide early warning of missile launches, as well as supporting technical intelligence and battlespace awareness Knowledge and understanding of the operational area's environment, factors, and conditions, to include the status of friendly and adversary forces, neutrals and noncombatants, weather and terrain, that enables timely, relevant, comprehensive, and accurate assessments, in order to applications. The baseline integrated system test of the Geo-1 satellite provided system performance baseline information prior to the satellite entering thermal vacuum testing. Lockheed's new software contains applications for controlling space vehicle electrical power, temperature, attitude and navigation. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
