Numerous astrodynamic algorithms have been independently re-developed by Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) over the past twenty-five years to fulfill its Space Control mission. The result was a proliferation of redundant algorithms that were all maintained separately at increased cost and risk to AFSPC. This paper describes AFSPC's current effort to upgrade the AFSPC astrodynamic Standards to meet modern developer needs. AFSPC is also planning to establish astrodynamic standard software, as callable library functions, within the AFSCC. AFSPC's goal is to provide a 'Gold Standard' suite of astrodynamic standard software that will ensure accuracy, minimize risk and cost, and provide users with rapid implementation of new improvements.
