Missile-Tracking Satellites

Missile-tracking satellites are specialized spacecraft designed to detect, track, and monitor the launch and flight trajectories of missiles. These satellites collect data through various sensors, including radar and infrared technologies, to identify the launch of missiles, assess their path, and predict their impact zones. They play a crucial role in national defense, providing real-time information that enables military command to respond to potential threats effectively. By maintaining situational awareness of missile activities, these satellites contribute to strategic stability and security, helping to prevent conflicts and facilitate arms control agreements.
