1.0 GEODSS GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

1.1. GEODSS MISSION OVERVIEW. The GEODSS Program is comprised of three geographically-separated locations under the 15 Space Surveillance Squadron (15 SPSS) on Maui Island, HI, Space Delta 2 at Peterson Space Force Base (PSFB), Colorado (CO). 15 SPSS, Det 1 is located at Stallion Range Center, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico (NM); 15 SPSS, Det 2 is located at the Naval Support Facility (NSF), Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT);

and the third location is located at 15 SPSS, Maui Island, Hawaii (HI). Space Delta 2 exercises responsibility for all GEODSS sites through the Functional Commander at 15 SPSS, Maui Island, HI.

The GEODSS system supports United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) and theater war fighter’s requirements through the detection and surveillance of man-made satellites. The system detects, tracks, identifies, and reports on all man-made objects in Earth orbit within the telescopes’ field of view. The Sites perform the mission using three 1-meter telescopes each with a 1.68 degree field of view; low light level, electro-optical cameras; and high speed computers. These optical sensors detect sun light reflecting off of space objects. Mission operations are conducted between civil sunset and sunrise. Mission information is provided to the Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC), National Space Defense Center (NSDC), 18th Space Control Squadron (18 SPCS), 18 SPCS/Det 1, and National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).

1.1.7. PWS ORGANIZATION. PWS requirements have been organized in a manner that facilitates clear and concise description. The grouping of requirements is not intended to imply a preferred organizational structure to meet requirements. A requirement, once stated in the PWS, applies regardless of its location in the PWS. The contractor is expected to understand the interrelationship between requirements and to organize and perform accordingly. Many PWS paragraphs state deliverable requirements which are detailed in Appendix A, GEODSS Deliverable Requirements, which may contain further directive requirements. Publications, or directives, stated within the PWS are listed in Appendix B, GEODSS Publications and Forms. Host Installation Plans, Policies, Procedures and Agreements are listed in Appendix C. Acronyms are listed in Appendix D, GEODSS PWS Acronyms. Appendix E, GEODSS PWS Definitions, contain definitions of words and terms used in the PWS which are an extension of PWS requirements.
