I. Description of Operations Financed: Space Control Systems include the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN). AFSCN supports
operational satellites and provides the global network of control centers, Remote Tracking Stations, and communications links required to operate
military satellites, both operational and R&D. AFSCN activities include AFSCN Operations, Satellite Control Network (SCN) Communications,
and sustainment. AFSCN Operations provides funding for operations and maintenance, logistics, and management of control centers, Remote
Tracking Stations, and support elements. SCN Communications provides funding for the operation and maintenance of an extensive mission
communications network interfacing Onizuka Air Station, California, and Schriever AFB, Colorado, with the worldwide tracking stations to
support assigned DoD, NASA, and classified space programs. SCN Communications funds satellite mission communications, administrative
communications, and radio frequency analysis required by operational DoD and National satellites. In addition, the sustainment effort provides
software and hardware maintenance, engineering support, on-site operations support to the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), and Program
Office support.
II. Force Structure Summary: Space Control Systems facilities and equipment includes fifteen antenna sites, two control nodes, eight remote
tracking stations and one transportable spacecraft check-out facility.

Program decreases in civilian pay (-$1,626) due to space program realignment of
civilian end strength and management headquarters restructure (-33 E/S), as well
as 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. Contractor support (-$1,445) and supplies, material, travel, and depot level
repairables (-$400) are being deferred due to constrained Air Force resources.

ii) Space Test Center/Range Consolidation (FY 2001 Base $20,086) ................................
One-time program increase for conducting parallel operations for the satellite ground
control system during transition to a new commercial based system in support of
MILSTAR.
$1,913
iii) Satellite Control Network Realignment (FY 2001 Base $213,048) ...............................
One-time program realignment: Satellite Control Network (-$46,499); AFSCN
Operations ($37,820); Satellite Control Net-Comm ($8,679). The Satellite Control
Network, AFSCN Operations, and the Satellite Control Net-Comm all support the Air
Force’s Satellite Control Network. This zero sum realignment was needed to
centralize most of the funding into two areas in order to allow leadership to better
manage the program.

c) Program Growth in FY 2002 ................................................................................................
$17,380
i) Satellite Control Net-Comm (FY 2001 Base $19,862) ..................................................
Increase reflects the change over from commercial communication systems to higher
cost DISA provided services and having to maintain legacy systems during this
transition period.
$3,580
ii) AFSCN Operations (FY 2001 Base $131,935) ..............................................................
Increase reflects growth in Operational Space Services and Support Contract
(OSSSC) and restores funding for spares and sustainment activities that were deferred
from FY01. Delay in AFSCN modernization required extended logistical and
maintenance support of system hardware and software. Additionally, Wage Labor
Determinations have far exceeded 2.2 percent standard. OSSSC provides critical
maintenance and logistical support and provides primary command uplinks to the
DoD and National Reconnaissance Office satellites maximizing availability of
mission data links for intelligence collection.

Program decreases ($-5,588) in contractor support reflects savings due to increased
utilization of Commercial Off The Shelf Software at the Remote Tracking Stations.
Additionally, decreases ($-1,109) reflect a realignment of civilian positions within
Air Force Material Command. Also incorporates revised civilian pay raise
percentages and annualized FY01 increases in Federal Employee Health Benefits
(FEHB) rates.
