"SPACE FENCE"has been SEQUESTERED

[MorningSong]

I found this new on spaceweather.com:

SPACE FENCE, SEQUESTERED: The US Air Force Space Surveillance System, a.k.a. the "Space Fence," will be shut down on Oct. 1st. This is a result of automatic cuts imposed by the US Congressional budget sequester. The Space Fence is a multi-station radar deployed across the southern USA capable of tracking satellites, space debris, and meteoroids as far as 30,000 km from Earth. Readers are asking how this development affects Space Weather Radio, which broadcasts echoes from the Space Fence. Answer: In October we will shift to a new type of meteor radar based on the forward scattering of VHF TV signals.

What's "Space Fence" (recommended reading)?

Sequester Leads Air Force to Shut Down 'Space Fence' Surveillance System

Monday, 12 Aug 2013 08:25 PM

The U.S. Air Force will shut down its space surveillance system that tracks satellites and other orbiting objects by Oct. 1 due to budget constraints caused by automatic federal budget cuts known as the sequestration, it announced Monday.

Deactivating the system by Oct. 1 would save the Air Force Space Command $14 million annually starting in fiscal year 2014.

The surveillance system got the nickname "Space Fence" because it transmits a "fence" of radar energy vertically into space that can detect any object or debris that crosses it without being cued to do so.

Commander of the Air Force Space Command, General William Shelton, said the system - which has been in operation since 1961 - was outmoded and that newer technology will provide more accurate observations.

Shelton said a new Space Fence is being planned now, which will provide more precise positional data on orbiting objects and would become the most accurate radar in the Air Force's space surveillance network.

The system that will be discontinued on Oct. 1 is a series of three transmitters and six receivers located across different points in the southern United States. It is operated by Five Rivers Services in Colorado.

"When combined with the new Joint Space Operations Center's high performance computing environment, the new fence will truly represent a quantum leap forward in space situational awareness for the nation," Shelton said in a statement Monday.

So.. no sorvelliance until the new system using VHF radio frequencies is installed...hmmmmm

So does that mean that anything can sneak in or out until it is installed?

I wish I had an electronic thumb.

I agree.....

It is probably shut off to the public, but I bet someone is monitoring what is out there.

I see it as phasing out old technologies. The new one is already in place, i have not doubts about this.

Unless they take this opportunity to create a false flag, such as invation by ET, Korea sending its bombs, whatever.

Yet, I still think it is only phasing out old stuff.

Shutting it down will save $14 million?
