Space Fence

Space Fence is an advanced radar system designed to track objects orbiting Earth, including satellites, space debris, and unaffiliated particles. It uses powerful radio waves to detect and monitor these objects, helping prevent collisions and manage space traffic. By providing precise location data, Space Fence enhances safety and situational awareness in space operations, ensuring that satellites and other assets can be maintained and maneuvered effectively. It is part of the United States’ efforts to maintain a secure and sustainable space environment.
