The three locations - Peterson AFB/Colorado Springs, Kirtland AFB/Albuquerque, Malmstrom AFB/Great Falls - were considered as candidate CSOC sites and all meet the basic geographic, technical, support and resource siting criteria. The Colorado Springs location is preferred because of its unique operational advantages. The positive effects that accrue from the proximity of NORAD Headquarters, a command which has functions that depend heavily on space operations, are the most important for the long-term future. The Space Defense Operations Center at Colorado Springs and the Aerospace Data Facility at Buckley Air National Guard Base are both Satellite Control facilities that are in the vicinity and that typify the kind of thing that will be done at CSOC. A large contractor base to support satellite control operations exists in the vicinity. However, Kirtland and Malmstrom AFBs are also evaluated as Alternates 1 and 2 respectively. At Malmstrom AFB, CSOC could be sited on-base at either of two locations designated Options A and B. (Author)
