Description

Technical Description

Oracle-Prime

The amount of traffic to the Moon and lunar surface is expected to increase significantly over the next decade. In the same way that the Department of Defense (DoD) monitors activity in space out to Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) in support of the interests and assets of the United States and its allies, Oracle-Prime will provide Space Situational Awareness (SSA) in this increasingly important cislunar domain to support freedom of navigation, international Lunar missions, and search and rescue of lost satellites and astronauts. Oracle-Prime will augment the existing United States Space Force (USSF) SSA network with vital additional data, assist National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with its mission to land astronauts safely on the Moon, and identify and track potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids.

Oracle-Prime will serve as the first SSA sensor of its kind operating in cislunar space, providing high- quality data collected by optical telescopes from a never-before-attempted perspective. The Oracle-Prime spacecraft will operate about L1 in the Earth-Moon system to test space traffic monitoring techniques for objects transiting through or operating within cislunar space. Oracle-Prime will demonstrate capabilities for multiple SSA scenarios, including the discovery of previously unknown (untracked) cislunar objects and continuous tracking of known objects operating in the domain from Moon and beyond, referred to as XGEO.

Attachments are restricted as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), access must be requested.
