DoD’s SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch to host AFIT’s Space Object Self-Tracker

The Air Force Institute of Technology’s Space Object Self-Tracker is a self-sufficient, low-cost, low-weight, and low-power experimental payload designed to demonstrate precise tracking capabilities for future Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management. AFIT’s Center for Space Research and Assurance designed, manufactured and tested the payload. The very first Department of Defense SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the hosted payload from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 24, 2019. (Contributed photo)
