| Summary |
The United States embraces space to satisfy its strategic goals for domestic, national-security, and military purposes -- augmenting each with international agreements. Distinct in policies, economics, doctrine, and supporting infrastructure, these elements define different spectra in the space-power continuum. The United States is no longer alone, however. More nations than ever before are turning to space to satisfy their own strategic goals. By examining foreign developments and strategies, one can paint in broad strokes a portrait of the space strategic environment for which the United States must prepare. The purpose of this analysis is twofold. First, by examining the domestic, national-security, military, and international efforts of emerging space powers, the authors implicitly conclude that space's strategic importance is rapidly expanding. Second, they discuss the nature of the space environment and identify complexities current and future leaders will face. Ultimately, because the environment is increasingly multipolar, international engagement in many forms will be a necessary prerequisite to achieve and maintain space power now and in the future |
