    In my latest SPACE.com article concerning  observing artificial  satellites:
    http://www.space.com/spacewatch/090619-how-to-find-satellites.html
    
    A  reader passed along the following comment to my editor:
    
    "Nice article but  it got one thing wrong.  US Space Command went away in
    2003 and  USSTRATCOM has been doing the space surveillance mission since
    then.   And that mission is not done at Peterson but rather at Vandenberg 
    AFB
    in  California."
    
    Can anyone on the list verify if this is indeed  true?
    
    Thanks in advance!
