Peraton wins Space Force contract to assist with orbital analysis and training

Peraton will provide orbital analysis subject matter expertise support and and orbital management training for a variety of missions for the U.S. Space Force under a recompete award, the company announced.

The work will support the Peterson-Schriever Garrison headquartered in Colorado.

The contract is worth up to $10 million over five years. Peraton will continue to be responsible for providing support for various Space Force space ground systems, equipment, software, databases, and concepts of operations for unit mission operations and future mission requirements.

Peraton’s work with the Space Force includes conjunction assessment and collision avoidance for a wide range of critical satellite systems and constellations. Peraton’s experts help ensure the safe operation of the Space Based Space Surveillance, Operationally Responsive Space-5, Advanced Extremely High Frequency, Milstar, Wideband Global SATCOM, and Defense Satellite Communications System satellites.

Peraton also trains personnel across Space Delta 8 in conducting their own orbital analysis operations; provides over-the-shoulder support during satellite anomalies and daily operations; helps conserve fuel during collision avoidance by modifying planned maneuvers instead of creating new fuel-burning maneuvers; and assists in the disposal of old GPS satellites.
