Overview (U):

(U) The Edzell Passive Radio Frequency (RF) space surveillance site tracks satellites using RF signal emmisions to compute angle of arrival observations. This site provides coverage of near-earth satellites utilizing the Low Altitude Space Surveillance (LASS) system.


Description (U):

(U) The Edzell Passive Radio Frequency (RF) space surveillance site tracks the signals emitted by satellites. The 2nd Command and Control Squadron (2CACS), housed at Schriever AFB, is the command and control node for the passive radio frequency (RF) sensors, which includes the 17 SSS (Edzell, UK). The Edzell site is used for the tracking of low altitude space surveillance.

User Impact (U):

(U) Loss of Edzell would have significant impact on the space surveillance mission and maintenance of the space catalogue.
