OSCAR Fall 2017 Seminar Series

“Joint Research and Development and Operations: A Working Paradigm for Space Situational Awareness”

Talk by Dr. Stacie Williams, Program Officer, Remote Sensing and Imaging Physics Program, Air Force Office of Scientific Research

Abstract:

This talk will provide an introduction to the Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC) located atop Haleakala in Maui, Hawaii with an emphasis on the synergy created by the joint research and operational missions of the site. The MSSC is a research site as well as an applied test bed making it the ideal environment for developing unique operationally relevant sensors and processing techniques to meet the space surveillance operational mission of the site. One such sensor that will be highlighted is a daylight imager that provided the first resolved satellite images collected during the daytime on a large aperture telescope.
