The U.S. military says it will station an advanced radar in Australia to help track space junk threatening satellites and is working toward placement of a new, state-of-the-art deep-space telescope developed by the Pentagon’s advanced research arm DARPA.

Reuters is reporting, “The positioning of the advanced military equipment is another sign of deepening U.S. military ties with Australia and America’s widely touted “pivot” to Asia. It follows an agreement last year for a rotating training presence of up to 2,500 Marines in Australia’s northern tropical city of Darwin.”
