Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) is focused on putting satellites in orbit in significantly less time than it currently takes. ORS is based on responding to an operational need quickly, but it should not be thought of as a new way to place national systems in orbit. Operational needs likely result from a need to augment an existing system or to replace a portion of an existing system. Whether a satellite is required as an augmentation or a replacement, it would need to be placed in orbit on the order of weeks, not years, as it would take to deploy a satellite from scratch. ORS systems will be a gap filler aimed at maintaining an existing advantage in unforeseen circumstances. This research shows, based on the available literature, how the needs for ORS can be broken down systematically into a set of requirements to be used to design a space system. It provides a basic concept of how an ORS satellite architecture would be developed. Finally, this research also defines a preliminary system design that would enable satellites to be launched on short notice.
This book aims to demonstrate how multiple development activities in space exploitation can be reduced by a rationalized approach, which can result in technical standards and methodologies. It concentrates on systems engineering techniques, with a blend of relevant engineering management techniques. A communications system embracing a geostationary communications satellite is taken as the book's prime example.
This book, Space Capstone Publication Spacepower: Doctrine for Space Forces, is capstone doctrine for the United States Space Force and represents our Service's first articulation of an independent theory of spacepower. This publication answers why spacepower is vital for our Nation, how military spacepower is employed, who military space forces are, and what military space forces value. In short, this capstone document is the foundation of our professional body of knowledge as we forge an independent military Service committed to space operations. Like all doctrine, the SCP remains subject to the policies and strategies that govern its employment. Military spacepower has deterrent and coercive capacities - it provides independent options for National and Joint leadership but achieves its greatest potential when integrated with other forms of military power. As we grow spacepower theory and doctrine, we must do so in a way that fosters greater integration with the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. It is only by achieving true integration and interdependence that we can hope to unlock spacepower's full potential.
The US National Space Policy released by the president in 2006 states that the US government should "develop space professionals." As an integral part of that endeavor, "AU-18, Space Primer", provides to the joint war fighter an unclassified resource for understanding the capabilities, organizations, and operations of space forces. This primer is a useful tool both for individuals who are not "space aware"-unacquainted with space capabilities, organizations, and operations-and for those who are "space aware," especially individuals associated with the space community, but not familiar with space capabilities, organizations, and operations outside their particular areas of expertise. It is your guide and your invitation to all the excitement and opportunity of space. Last published in 1993, this updated version of the Space Primer has been made possible by combined efforts of the Air Command and Staff College's academic year 2008 "Jointspacemindedness" and "Operational Space" research seminars, as well as select members of the academic year 2009 "Advanced Space" research seminar.

The influence of space power pervades almost every sphere and level of human existence, from politics to military affairs to commercial activities to cultural mind-sets. Yet there is little to be found today in the way of coherent space power doctrine and strategy, particularly in national security circles. To what extent do our national interests rely on space? How shall we defend our interests in space and how shall we deny our adversaries the benefits of space power in time of conflict? How can we control and exploit the space environment? How can we effectively wield space power against the full spectrum of threats -- from the lone terrorist to global peer competitors? What should be our long-range strategy and objectives if our goal is to achieve and maintain long-term space superiority? The purpose of this paper is two fold: first, to illuminate the historical and ever-increasing importance of space in modern society; and second, to prescribe, in view of this importance, the foundations of a strategy for achieving lasting space superiority and ensuring national and world security.
