Assuming military operations will occur throughout the solar system
in the near future, they will occur within the interplanetary
medium and on the planets and other celestial objects. This book
takes a look at what of military space operations in these two
geographic regimes of the solar system might look like. It also is
an analysis of how both natural and military environmental factors
there will affect those activities. The natural environment can be
distilled down to the electromagnetic spectrum and the table of
elements, and other scientific cataloging systems. Military
operations within the solar system will continue to be affected by
"weather." However, the weather outside the Earth's atmosphere
refers primarily to the solar radiation that is propagated from the
sun outward to the edge of the solar system. Military operations on
the planets and the other celestial objects of the solar system
will continue to have to deal with the same geological and
geographic factors that they have dealt with on Earth. At the
outset of the 21st century, military space operations are already a
reality. They are focused on the zone of artificial satellites that
orbit the Earth, which interact with military operations in the
terrestrial atmosphere and surface. At the same time, private
sector corporations and other organizations are actively conducting
research and development of systems that eventually will enable
them to do such things as build permanent settlements on Mars, the
Moon, and even some asteroids. As these commercial enterprises
continue to develop a new extraterrestrial civilization, the need
for some kind of military "security" organization will become a
reality. This glimpse into the future is done from the perspective
of more than 30 years of combined experience as a military
geographer, military intelligence officer, and computer specialist.
Drawing from the experiences of NASA in space during the past 50
years, the author examines the "geographic" factors that have
affected space exploration are applied to the hypothetical military
operations throughout the solar system during the 21st century.
From this analysis, the future of military space operations in the
future can be extrapolated. For a more detailed description of this
book, the author may be contacted at:

science, engineering and technology that has been developed by NASA
is seen as a treasure trove of data and skill sets, from which
pontential lessions about the military geography of the entire
solar system, and possible military space weapons and tactics might
be inferred.
