This handbook examines the militarization of space, providing a
fair and balanced discussion of the emerging issues concerning
space security and defense. The militarization of space is already
underway, with unpredictable consequences for the way war will be
conducted in the future. Military Space Power: A Guide to the
Issuesexamines the militarization of space from historical,
technological, and geopolitical angles. It traces space
militarization from concepts proposed before World War II through
the use of space for military surveillance and communications
purposes to the actual deployment of weapons that pass through
high-altitude space, such as ballistic missiles and nuclear-armed
interceptors. The book focuses on the main space pioneers like the
United States, Russia, and China, but also includes discussion of
potential future players. It looks at the state of current space
technology, but also projects how recent inventions or new
discoveries might be weaponized for the space environment. And it
analyzes how the militarization of space might influence
international relations. The result is a fair and balanced
discussion of the emerging issues concerning space security and
defense.
