The telescope is ready to use.
The U.S. Space Force has a telescope in Australia that provides a new perspective on the sky to look for objects of interest.
In a statement, Space Force officials said that the telescope is ready for work in the southern hemisphere, where it will join the global space network.
The US Space Force created a new unit to keep an eye on threats in space.
The telescope can be used for other things besides looking for space debris. According to the Space Force statement, SST can detect asteroids and comets in deep space.
The telescope was tested by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in New Mexico over the course of six years. According to Space News, the telescope will be redeployed to Australia in 2020.
The United States is facing a pressing policy problem with space debris. Thousands of Starlink satellites are being sent into space by commercial providers. According to SpaceX, Starlink satellites can avoid trouble.
The International Space Station was haunted by a large amount of debris after a Russian anti-satellite test in November. The swarm has come close to the Starlink satellites.
The National Space Council and Space Force are among the partners taking steps to address space debris. Harris promised that the United States would not conduct destructive ASAT tests after the FCC updated its debris rules.
According to Space Force, SST can see as high as a satellite. The Naval Communication Station Harold E Holt on the northwest coast of Australia is where the telescope is located.
