GEODSS: Past and Future Improvements
December 2000

ABSTRACT
The Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) system,
a passive electro-optical visible wavelength sensor in the Space Surveillance
Network (SSN), has been and continues to be up-graded. Introduction
of the Optical Command, Control, and Communications Facility (OC3F)
improved efficiency. The accuracy of its metric observation data of
artificial deep space satellites, greatly improved just recently, will
again be substantially improved. Improvements in sensitivity in both
its metric and photometric (Space Object Identification, SOI) missions
will also be achieved in the present acquisition phase.
