WASHINGTON: The little-known global Air Force network of telescopes for tracking satellites and spacecraft in deep space may add two new sites in Australia and Spain.
Industry proposals for helping the 20th Space Control Squadron at Peterson AFB maintain the Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) are due on July 29. The contract is for one year, with options for six additional years. The Air Force intends to chose a winner in April 2020.
