Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center

The Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC), now known as the National Space Defense Center (NSDC), was established in 2015 by the Department of Defense and the intelligence community to protect U.S. interests in space. Located at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado, the JICSpOC/NSDC facilitates information sharing and unity of effort across the national security space enterprise, improving the ability to detect and respond to threats against vital space systems. It supports space defense operations among the DoD, National Reconnaissance Office, and other interagency partners. The NSDC also directs the command and control of the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP).
