Satellite communications\, the ability to transmit information to\, fro m and within space was one of several factors that contributed to the USSF establishment decision. This presentation will review all of these factor s and the history of how they influenced the USSF decision process with an emphasis on satellite communications. It will be shown how the technologi cal and functional heritage of communication from the early stages of the US Army\, and Air Force\, contributed to the formation of the US Space Com mand and eventually the US Space Force. Real world examples will be used t o illustrate past and present engineering challenges that were solved by s atellite communications\, and the implications for future space activities \, both civil and military.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Dr. John Santiago\n\nSpeak er(s): David\, \n\nAgenda: \nIntroductions\n\nPresentation\n\nColorado Spr ings\, Colorado\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/ m/242456 LOCATION:Colorado Springs\, Colorado\, United States\, Virtual: https://eve nts.vtools.ieee.org/m/242456 ORGANIZER:dbondurant@mac.com SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Joint Pikes Peak Section\, Pikes Peak LMAG October Virtual Meeting URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/242456 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Joint Pikes Peak IEEE<span class=" Apple-converted-space">&nbsp\; </span>Section &amp\; Life Member Affinity Group</strong></p>\n<p><strong>October<span class="Apple-converted-space"> &nbsp\; </span>Virtual Meeting</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Thursday\, October 22\, 2020</strong></p>\n<p><strong>6 pm MDT\, 7 pm CDT</strong></p>\n<p>< strong>Please Register and you will receive Zoom log in instruction prior to the meeting</strong></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Sa tellite Communications Influence on Formation of the US Space Force</stron g></span></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>David Fitzgerald\, Pikes Peak Li fe Member</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The sixth military service\, th e US Space Force (USSF) was established in December 2019. &nbsp\; Satellit e communications\, the ability to transmit information to\, from and withi n space was one of several factors that contributed to the USSF establishm ent decision.&nbsp\; This presentation will review all of these factors an d the history of how they influenced the USSF decision process with an emp hasis on satellite communications.&nbsp\; It will be shown how the technol ogical and functional heritage of communication from the early stages of t he US Army\, and Air Force\, contributed to the formation of the US Space Command and eventually the US Space Force.&nbsp\; Real world examples will be used to illustrate past and present engineering challenges that were s olved by satellite communications\, and the implications for future space activities\, both civil and military.&nbsp\;</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /> <p>Introductions</p>\n<p>Presentation</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
