International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1992 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / An orbiting sensor module, designed by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory (JHU/APL), performed a number of significant Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI) Delta 181 program experiments. These experiments required on-orbit command and
monitor operations involving a worldwide network of ground facilities. A major
component was the sensor module command center (SMCC), which was designed and
integrated by JHU/APL. The SMCC, located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
(CCAFS), connected to a network of Eastern Test Range, Air Force Satellite Control
Network (AFSCN), Kennedy Space Center, and Western Test Range assets.
The complex nature of the mission presented numerous challenges to the design,
integration, and operation of the SMCC. This paper presents a functional overview of
SMCC design as well as unique aspects of supporting ground network telemetry and
command operation.
