three types of imagery
EO- electro optical
IR- infared
SAR- synthetic Aperture Radar
JPDI
Joint Desired Point of Impact- alpha numeric coded precise aim point associated with a target to achieve an explicate weaponeering objective.
Support intel provides to Joint Targeting
Intel supports targeting through continuous in depth analysis to provide opportunities for dynamic or deliberate strike missions
TST
Time sensitive target
target requiring immediate response, could danger friendly forces in the future.

Space force Applications
combat operations in, through, and from space to influence the course and outcome of conflict by holding terrestrial targets at risk
The Sun
Biggest effect of space environment
Low Earth Orbit
LEO- altitudes between 150 and 800 miles above earth surface. Period of about 90 minutes
Medium Earth Orbit
Above LEO but below geostationary orbit
Highly elliptical Orbit
Used to obtain communications in the northern or southern hemisphere
Geosynchronous Orbit
average Altitude of 19,300 NM. Has a period about equal to 24 hours
Polar Orbit
Passes over the entire surface of the earth, has an inclination of 90 degrees and is usually circular. Used by imagery satellites.
Apogee
The farthest point of a satellites orbit from earth
Perigee
Closest point of a satellites orbit to earth
DSCS
