United States Space Force’s Post

A very good overview refernce on the United States Space Force https://lnkd.in/ehAVhXhb

Midland Development Corporation approved an agreement for the Texas Chapter of the Space Force Association to be headquartered located in Midland. The organization sees West Texas as a key player in the #aerospace industry. Article states: “We found that Midland has an active #spaceport with the ability to #launch horizontal flight for #supersonic and #hypersonic testing, and also a very robust economic program for supporting this developing industry," McManus said. #spaceeconomy #spaceindustry #spaceports https://lnkd.in/gBsJPXB9

America 250 HISTORY The U.S. SPACEFORCE turns 5 years old! The U.S. Space Force was established Dec. 20, 2019, when the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law (with bi-partisan support), creating the first new branch of the armed services in 73 years.  The establishment of the USSF resulted from widespread recognition that Space was a national security imperative. When combined with the growing threat posed by near-peer competitors in space, it became clear there was a need for a military service focused solely on pursuing superiority in the space domain.  For the last 60 years space capabilities have become essential to the way a modern military conducts operations. Investments in space capabilities have increased the effectiveness of operations in every other domain.  The U.S. military is faster, better connected, more informed, precise, and lethal because of space. The same premise—that space is critical—holds true for the average American; space capabilities are woven into the fabric of daily life.  Satellites connect people in every corner of the globe, monitor weather patterns, carry television broadcasts, and the timing and navigation services of the GPS constellation power global financial networks, enable international commerce, synchronize cell phone networks, and optimize critical infrastructure.  Access to and freedom to operate in space underpins our national security and economic prosperity. However, space is no longer free from conflict. Potential adversaries are seeking ways to deny the U.S. access to the space capabilities fundamental to our way of war and modern way of life. They have developed an array of threats, both on Earth and in orbit, that continue to grow in scope, scale, and complexity.  Today, the Guardians of the USSF have been called to protect and defend American interests and to ensure our forces, our allies, and the world never experience a day without space. They serve across the globe, working 24/7 to design, acquire, field, test, operate, and defend the critical space systems the nation, and the world, rely upon.

Revolutionizing Space Launch Infrastructure In the vast expanse of space exploration, the criticality of efficient and up-to-date infrastructure cannot be overstated. The U.S. Space Force, at the forefront of this endeavor, constantly seeks innovation to enhance its launch capabilities. In a groundbreaking move, Defense Unicorns, a dynamic startup born from the minds of former Department of Defense developers, has emerged as a pivotal player in revolutionizing the software infrastructure supporting rocket launches. This article delves into the significance of Defense Unicorns' recent achievements and the transformative impact they are poised to make. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gUt54-6z

U.S. to pursue stronger collaboration with allies in military space programs Strengthening ties with foreign allies has been a key priority for the U.S. Space Force, whose leaders stress that securing outer space requires global cooperation. To that end, the United States has signed numerous intelligence sharing and data exchange agreements with partner nations worldwide. But collaboration has not usually applied to the acquisition of satellites or other space systems. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gw445_pg #spaceforce #space #spaceforceassociation #spacedefense

United States Space Force is near finalization of a key strategy document outlining how it will partner with the burgeoning commercial space industry. After months of refinement, Deputy Chief of Space Operations Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt announced Jan. 5 at the The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies that the document is nearing completion. This blueprint will guide the Space Force’s integration of commercial satellite services into its routine operations, aiming to leverage private sector innovation to strengthen U.S. military space systems. #usspaceforce #nationalsecurity #spaceindustry ________ Approach Venture enables founding teams building the future of frontier technology to achieve their full potential.

This is about as huge a practical change and practical implementation of a commercial space strategy as you can get. "Perform as operational crew members in support of 24/7 operations for SpOC missions, specifically, Space Domain Awareness, Missile Warning/Defense, MILSATCOM, Intelligence, and Orbital Warfare on various mission systems across the SpOC portfolio spanning multiple Space Deltas." https://lnkd.in/gpu5_Wxi
