Consolidated Space Operations Center

Lacks Adequate DOD Planning





The Department of Defense is planning con-
struction of a Consolidated Space Operations
Center near Colorado Springs in FY 1983.
The Air Force, as executive agent, estimates
that this joint military satellite/Shuttle opera-
tions control facility will cost approximately
$1.4 billion when fully operational in 1990.

GAO found that while the selection method-
ology was questionable, the site selected is
technically acceptable. However, GAO has
reservations about beginning full-scale con-
struction at this time because the operational
requirements and associated costs for the
Center are not sufficiently definitive. In addi-
tion, the lack of an overall military space plan
and the fragmented military space operations
structure makes GAO believe that construc-
tion of other than critical backup capability
is premature.
