Summary/Abstract |
At the beginning of the space age, the United States relied upon the general acceptance of a sanctuary narrative of outer space in order to help support its reconnaissance activities over the Soviet Union. The notion that space could be a sanctuary thus served as a diplomatic tactic, one designed to thwart Soviet opposition to American overflight. While the Soviets eventually achieved parity-having later acquired the ability to surveil the United States-the notion of sanctuary became untenable once the Soviet Union began to further leverage space power for the aim of attacking American satellites and naval assets. The crucial moment, as revealed in recently declassified documents, occurred in 1976 when the Ford Administration recognized the need for an American anti-satellite capability. Subsequently, while the Carter Administration appeared to pursue comprehensive space arms control, what was really in play was a gambit, one designed to eliminate the Soviet's co-orbital anti-satellite capability and maintain strategic parity in space.

Summary/Abstract |
Employment of space technology in the first gulf war led Chinese defence analysts to recognize the significance and effect of space control in contemporary warfare. while the United States is the leader in the space arena, the importance of space for inclusive growth has been gauged the world over by space-faring nations as well as space aspiring ones. Some of these nations, with china as a frontrunner, have made credible advances to pose a challenge to US hegemony in space.

Summary/Abstract |
Space warfare will be an integrated part of battle planning by the
Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in any future conflict. One
of the major proponents of integrated space power for the PLA, Maj
Gen Cai Fengzhen, believes that control of portions of outer space is
a natural extension of other forms of territorial control, such as sea
or air control. China's contemplation of the military use of space has
focussed on two broad areas, namely, how to use space in military
operations to increase its offensive capability, and how to use space
in military operations to deny space capabilities to adversaries

Summary/Abstract |
Professor Srikanth Kondapalli has argued that "one of the motives behind the development in China's space programme, albeit generally not mentioned explicitly, is for military usage." China became the first country in the world to have tested explicitly a land-based missile to destroy a space-based object on January 11, 2007. This ASAT test has led to concerns in Asia, with objections raised by Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India and by others such as the US, Russia and the EU countries. This has the potential to initiate a further arms race in space and contribute to the destabilisation trends.

Summary/Abstract |
Spacepower is a critical element supporting the US national security strategy. As more nations gain access to technology, there is growing concern that space capabilities will be increasingly vulnerable to attack. However, a more insidious problem looms. For the last decade, the development and acquisition of US national security space systems have become more and more troubled with cost overruns and schedule delays. This grave situation has caught the attention of national security leadership and the US Congress. Panels of experts have proposed a litany of remedies. In this paper we explain and illustrate the importance of enhancing space power to better support national security needs and caution that many of the proposed acquisition solutions address symptoms, not the primary cause.

Summary/Abstract |
The focus of this paper is on the evolution of access to space from its beginnings as an idea to its implementation as a usable technology. This evolution takes place through the policy process that encompasses agenda setting, formulation, implementation and change. Agenda-setting is where the idea for access to space emerges. Formulation concerns the concepts and policies that then allow for implementation of launch vehicle technology. Implementation generates specific outcomes. These outcomes are initially characterized by rapid technological innovation followed by a steady state of development. The path of development is one of how access to space became wedded to national security. Changes occur as commerce and economics begin to play a role in access to space. The policy process evolves through the actions of the pertinent actors. An examination of the ways in which these pertinent actors interpreted, formulated and implemented the idea and technology of access to space is discussed. The interactions among actors take place on the basis of political, organizational and technical decisions that actors make in regard to access to space.

Summary/Abstract |
This article assesses the impact of export policy on 21st century United States space power. The efficacy of current export controls in preventing the proliferation of space technologies and maintaining United States advantage is evaluated. The study finds that space launch technology has been and remains highly globalized; the United States has lost significant international communications satellite market share, but it maintains a tangible lead in position, navigation, and timing systems; and the recent growth in foreign imaging systems, both radar and optical, have eroded any advantage the United States once enjoyed. Furthermore, export controls have not appreciably slowed the internationalization of space and breaking dependency on the United States is a common underlying theme. The paper goes on to highlight the unintended consequences stemming from current policy, including limiting access to advanced technology of foreign origin, limiting access to foreign-born expertise, and adding "fog" and "friction" to the execution of programs that include foreign content. This paper finds current export control policy is incongruent with 21st century space power programs and initiatives, such as Operationally Responsive Space, Coalition Space, and "Soft" Space Power. Export control reform is suggested herein on the basis of developing a trusted community of trading partners.

Summary/Abstract |
Dr. Colin S. Gray was a brilliant scholar, strategist, and government advisor who provided a solid intellectual foundation for the development of space power theory. He appreciated that the use of space poses novel and difficult challenges for defense policy-makers and military strategists. Gray’s work is critically important today in light of intensifying global competition from powers challenging the international order and posing threats to the freedom of passage through and operations in space. His insights into the application of space power as an instrument of statecraft and warfare are invaluable for those confronting the challenge of understanding a new warfighting domain and preparing to deter or prevail in a war that involves space.
