United States Space Surveillance Network, Astronomical observatory in Maui County, United States
The United States Space Surveillance Network maintains specialized telescopes and radar systems to track artificial objects orbiting Earth from its facility in Hawaii.
The network was established in 1957 during the Cold War era to monitor satellites and space debris following the launch of Sputnik 1.
The facility represents the United States commitment to space domain awareness through continuous monitoring of orbital activities and potential threats.
The network catalogs and tracks over 44,000 objects larger than 10 centimeters, including active satellites, rocket bodies, and space debris.
The Maui facility combines the Space Surveillance Telescope with the Advanced Electro-Optical System to monitor objects in geosynchronous orbit.
