The 6th Space Operations Squadron (6 SOPS) is tasked with which program?

Space Surveillance
Weather Satellite Program
Defense Meteorological Satellite Program
Global Positioning System

The correct answer is: Defense Meteorological Satellite Program

The 6th Space Operations Squadron (6 SOPS) is primarily tasked with the operation and management of the Global Positioning System (GPS). This program plays a crucial role in providing accurate positioning, navigation, and timing services to both military and civilian users around the world. The squadron is responsible for ensuring the operational readiness of the GPS constellation, which includes monitoring the satellites, conducting maneuvers to maintain their orbits, and managing the ground control systems that support GPS operations. The other programs mentioned, such as Space Surveillance, the Weather Satellite Program, and the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, are managed by different entities within the U.S. Air Force and other organizations. Each of these programs has its distinct objectives and operational responsibilities that do not fall under the purview of the 6 SOPS, further highlighting the squadron's specific focus on GPS capabilities.
