I. Description of Operations Financed: The spacelift ranges are composed of the Western Range (WR) headquartered at the 30th Space Wing,
Vandenberg AFB, CA and the Eastern Range (ER) headquartered at the 45th Space Wing, Patrick AFB, FL. The spacelift ranges provide
tracking, telemetry, communications, range safety, weather and other support for DoD, civil and commercial space launches, intercontinental and
sea-launched ballistic missile test and evaluations (T&E) and aeronautical T&E. The spacelift ranges consist of range operations control centers,
and the hardware and software required to provide command and control of day-to-day range and launch operations. They consist of
instrumentation that provides range safety and user metric data through the use of launch vehicle telemetry, weather instruments, metric radars,
optics, and uplink capabilities. They also provide a conduit for sending all voice, video, and data to and from remote and local instrumentation
sites. The spacelift ranges are responsible for infrastructure maintenance functions, to include heating and air conditioning, fire
protection/detection, and corrosion control. Also, spacelift range funding pays for contract range activities necessary to support launch of
operational space vehicles and payloads, and contract activities necessary to operate and maintain range systems. The spacelift range functions
are critical to the success of all DoD, civil, and commercial space launch, ballistic missile and aeronautical test and evaluation from the Eastern
and Western Ranges. Operations and maintenance of launch pads is funded in Subactivity Group, Launch Vehicles.
II. Force Structure Summary: The spacelift ranges are composed of the Western Range (WR) headquartered at the 30 th Space Wing,
Vandenberg AFB, CA and the Eastern Range (ER) headquartered at the 45th Space Wing, Patrick AFB, FL. The ranges are composed of facilities
and equipment, including launch pads, command centers, radar and optical tracking sites, and telemetry sites.

review, the Air Force has designated these activities/functions as not military
essential. A cost comparison study/direct conversion is underway to determine
whether the workload will be contracted or remain in-house in accordance with the
guidelines in OMB Circular A-76.

c) Program Growth in FY 2002 ................................................................................................
$20,336
i) Space Lift Range System (FY 2001 Base $174,791) .....................................................
The increase represents increased costs for the Joint Based Operating Support
Contract ($12,000). Contract pays for maintaining launch facilities at Patrick AFB,
FL and Cape Canaveral AFS, FL. Joint venture with NASA had hoped to reduce
costs based on multi-tasking employees; however, union action prevented this action.
Increase also pays for the Range Standardization and Automation SATCOM lease
($5,050). This SATCOM lease is the critical link to operations at Antigua and
Ascension. The wideband circuit transmits telemetry data from designated primary
tracking site (Antigua/Ascension) to the Regional Operations Control Center.
$17,050
ii) Civilian Pay (FY 2001 Base $28,127) ............................................................................
The increase represents revised civilian pay funding requirements based on updated
assessment of actual workyear costs to reflect the impact of changes such as FY 2001
locality pay. It also represents the addition of 6 positions associated with testing and
integrating equipment procured for the Range Standardization and Automation

program. Further, the increase is attributable to the fact that there are 261
compensable calendar workdays in FY 2002 versus 260 days in FY 2001.
