Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Canadian Armed Forces. Satellite Tracking Unit : The Satellite Tracking Unit (SITU) was formed on 7 July 1975 as a component of Air Defence Group at St. Margarets, New Brunswick and supported by CFB Chatham. SITU was a vital component of NORAD's space defence role and it was mandated to collect, analyse and transmit satellite tracking data to NORAD Headquarters and NORAD Space Object Identification Centre. The unit used the Baker Nunn satellite tracking camera system which was augmented in 1978 by the Space Object Identification Telescope. That same year SITU was transferred to Air Command. In 1989 SITU became a part of NORAD's Space Surveillance Network. The unit was disbanded on 1 April 1992. RG 24 General Inventory
