Space Surveillance is the task of keeping a current catalogue of information on man-made, earth-bound resident space objects (RSOs), to support military and civilian needs. The mission areas include new launch processing, RS0 catalogue maintenance (including debris) and catalogue augmentation, ASAT support, satellite attack warning, RSO mission and payload assessment, and treaty monitoring. Some of the necessary functions to perform these missions are search and detection, acquisition, tracking, data processing, tasking and scheduling, and network integration. The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) has three sensor systems covering four Infrared bands (Spirit 3), the visible band (SBV), and five UV and Visible bands (UVISI) that will provide space surveillance data to demonstrate concepts for space based space surveillance. For MSX there are 18 space surveillance experiments in four categories. First, there are four sensor technology tests - sensor characterization and calibration - seeking to learn about the performance of this suite of space based sensors in stressing backgrounds for search, target detection, clutter suppression, tracking and metric, photometric, and radiometric accuracy.
