As political and military leaders ponder the future of space
operations, the time has come to frame propositions regarding
spacepower. Specifically, this study seeks to answer the question,
"What is the nature of spacepower?" It also tests the aerospace
integration school's hypothesis that space power is simply a
continuation or extension of airpower. Two points come immediately
to the forefront of this work. First, spacepower is different from
airpower even though both share the vertical dimension of warfare.
Second, space operations have matured to a point wherein valid and
unique propositions regarding spacepower are identifiable. The
method used to derive these propositions involved literary research
that resulted in a long list. The list evolved over three years
during numerous brainstorming sessions with several space experts -
most of them space weapons officers with theater and, often, combat
experience - until the list was carefully refined into the 10 most
salient propositions. The author deferred to Col. Phillip S.
Meilinger's approach, in "Ten Propositions Regarding Air Power," of
citing each proposition as a thesis statement, with supporting
material immediately following. The objective of this work is to
stimulate discussions and encourage those who do not yet understand
or appreciate the nature of spacepower in modern warfare.
