The USAF’s ‘Space Fence’ Surveillance System: Another Victim of Sequestration

"Times are getting tougher in the battle to track space debris. A key asset in the fight to follow and monitor space junk is getting the axe on October 1st of this year. United States Air Force General and commander of Air Force Space Command William Shelton has ordered that the Air Force Space Surveillance System, informally known as Space Fence will be deactivated. The General also directed all related sites across the southern United States to prepare for closure."

Re: USAF and Obama shutting down Space Fence Oct 1
This is mind boggling stupid, to save 14 million they are shutting down the space surveillance system that tracks objects in space.

"The U.S. Air Force will shut down its space surveillance system that tracks satellites and other orbiting objects by October 1 due to budget constraints"

Obviously they don't feel the need to track objects past October 1st.
I'd say something is up, they getting ready to bug out, and they don't want anyone to know about the incomings.

Serious shit

Unless its a redundant system and the Navy Space Command has the primary.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43157020


Shelton said a new Space Fence is being planned now, which will provide more precise positional data on orbiting objects and would become the most accurate radar in the Air Force's space surveillance network.

The system that will be discontinued on Oct. 1 is a series of three transmitters and six receivers located across different points in the southern United States. It is operated by Five Rivers Services in Colorado.

"When combined with the new Joint Space Operations Center's high performance computing environment, the new fence will truly represent a quantum leap forward in space situational awareness for the nation," Shelton said i

So where are these 400,000 foreign UN troops?

And show me a real link that says all leave has been cancelled for military personnel during the aforementioned time.

And yes, it is ironic that all these contracts must be fulfilled by the last day of the fiscal year. LOL.

Re: USAF and Obama shutting down Space Fence Oct 1
If they are shutting down the fence. You can bet they will shut down all programs that search for asteroids or incoming.Tthey just haven't announced it yet.

The space program is a joke. The Obama team is systematically destroying the space program. letting the Russians take the lead, and China to become next super power.

What does it mean shutting down the fence? When they don't move the TV satellite away from a collision with space junk, we will lose our precious TV.
Right before the big one.

Its not that we can defend ourselves from incoming, we can, but they, the Wall Street boys, have decided there is no value in saving the country. The wall street boys have shifted production overseas, and they will cash in on the insurance.

There is no value in saving the country from incoming, it would cost more than the GNP so they, wall street said no. They will save the top 1 per cent, of the worst scum on the planet, while they lean out the population. Of course they will suspend the constitution. They can't give the gold back to Germany because wall street needs it for their use in the new world to save their kids.
Germany asked for their Gold recently and Wall street said NO. Soon all these Wall street scum will be heading for fall vacations, to meet up with their supplies, and all the ammo the gov't bought up. Look for ammo at wall mart, almost none.
Price of food skyrockets and no one reports it, none.

Fence is down, gold is stored, ammo is bought, Oct 1st . NASA and the wall street scum says it would be too expensive to save us, so they saved their asses and their kids.

The fence radar is so powerful that the analog signal reaches out hundreds of billions of miles and can be detected when it bounces back. I know my radar theory, the signal processing power has exploded and a old powerful radar detects to the edge of the solar sytem and beyond.
They know what was coming back when Reagan warned about it 20 years ago.

Re: USAF and Obama shutting down Space Fence Oct 1
The fence was the most powerful analog radar in the world. Its. Signal will be bouncing back for 50 years. Technically anyone with a dish and a signal processor could track incoming objects even light years away. They know in detail what is out there, turning off the fence hides the info from the amateurs.

Where are all the electronic geeks ? Thats the sad part radar theory is rarely covered even in grad school, money is in the software.

The senators from the states wherr theyare located should be complaining but they are not. But all the states are non Obama states, so Obama don't care. The quantum entanglement aspect of these signals should be researched though. Possibllity of future events being transmitted back using quantum recievers.

Moar info with specifics:

"AFSPC officials have devised modified operating modes for the Perimeter Acquisition Radar Characterization System at Cavalier Air Force Station, N.D., and for the space surveillance radar at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., which allows the discontinuation of AFSSS operations while still maintaining solid space situational awareness."

Well if it's gonna hit us it's gonna hit us anyway.

No sense in spending a trillion dollars for slow doom.

Yet the globalist bankers and their eternal wars for profit will suck that money up anyway and the federal workers who have had no raises for about 3 ? years will continue to downsize, do triple work and not get any raises. Yes that is what's going on. Not all agencies have contractors.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44827095

What? The system isn't about monitoring for incoming asteroids or anything, it's for monitoring satellites in low earth orbit and alerting satellite operators when necessary to avoid collisions. The radar being shut down is not the only system that conducts the monitoring and the remaining systems will be picking up the slack while a replacement system is being built. The only catch is this; the replacement system is on hold pending review as well. Hopefully they'll get it back on track soon but in the meantime we're not flying blind, we're just flying with fewer sensors doing the monitoring of satellites and orbital debris.

"Though part of a broader surveillance network, the VHF Space Fence is crucial because it can track objects up to 24,000 kilometers away."

Wow, thanks for proving my point. 24,000 km is fucking nothing on the scale of the solar system or even the earth-moon system. The moon is 16 times farther away. Even geosynchronous orbit is about 12,000 km farther away. What are you going to do with that, detect an asteroid when it gets within 0.06 LD? Well if it's going to hit that should leave you juuuuust enough time to bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

You prove my point dipshit. The fence is the strongest analog radar in the world. The return echo will be returning for decades. They have tracked and detected objects light yeas away with the fence. Even Patti Brassard can understand simpleton theories. Even you with your dipshit little cable TV dish, you could pick up echoes that can track objects out past Uranus. I tracked satellites for a living, I know what I be talking about. They are turning it off to hide the data that would be visible to all the university's that piggybacked the fence. Asteriod, comet, debris, ship, or klngons around uranus, I don't know but Obama and Biden will hide out with the great minds of the world.
