SSA Environmental Effects Fusion System
(SEEFS)
• SEEFS merges environmental data with space system parameters to
specify effects on ground & space assets
42
AFRL’s Opinion
SupraThermal Electron, Ion, Neutral Experiment
STEIN (AFRL-0903)
PI (or PM): Chin S. Lin, AFRL/RVBXI
Technical Problem: Current
charged particle detectors are
too large and heavy for nanosatellites
•Leverages new miniature
solid state detector
•Built and tested sensors,
prototype, & components
Military Relevance:
Hardware Status:
• Allow warfighters to distinguish
environmental effects from hostile
threats
– Accurate anomaly root cause analysis
•
•
•
•
Size: 10x10X15 cm
Weight: 1.5 kg
Power: 1 W
Current Technology Readiness Level: 6
Flight Unit: 4th quarter FY11
Flight Ready: 2nd quarter FY12
New advanced technology developed by
Univ. of California at Berkeley
Distribution Statement D: "Distribution to US Government Agencies and Authorized DoD Contractors only; Administrative or
Operational Use; 11 October 2005. Other Requests for this document shall be referred AFRL/RVBXI.

energy input. Heritage instrument: SSJ5 on DMSP
• Planar Langmuir Probe
•
•
•
Ion density
Density fluctuation
Heritage: C/NOFS
45
Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne (DASH)
• DASH is a sensor to remotely measure the thermospheric wind
• Funded in part by NRL, in part by AFRL
• Heritage: similar instrument on a Space Shuttle mission

DMSG Commander’s Priorities
• Readiness – ORI and UCI
• Program Execution - cost, schedule, performance
• Program Extension - moving launch dates out,
contractual processes
• F19 Sensor deliveries and integration
• Resolution of oscillation reach back
• F19 OLS + SSMIS Fixes
• SSAEM program startup
• DWSS and organizational transition
• Tiger teams at work
• ADM in coordination
• DWSS and SSAEM space allocation
• Wing/Group/Squadron Transition

•
It’s ‘Not Just the Weather’
It’s a lot tougher than it looks
Architecture in its infancy
DoD understands importance…….
BUT the priority is relatively low
Sensors are good……..
BUT the infrastructure must be sound
Many possible paths for the future
Is there money in it???
