The Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) system, a passive electro-optical visible wavelength sensor in the Space Surveillance Network (SSN), has been and continues to be upgraded. Introduction of the Optical Command, Control, and Communications Facility (OC3F) improved efficiency. The accuracy of its metric observation data of artificial deep space satellites, greatly improved just recently, will again be substantially improved. Improvements in sensitivity in both its metric and photometric (Space Object Identification, SOI) missions will also be achieved in the present acquisition phase.
