Focus on
Space Science with goal being science as opposed to operations like space weather , 4
themes:
1) Origins – Are we alone?, Where did we come from?
2) Exploration of the Solar System:
- Explain the formation of the Solar System & the Earth
- Seek the origin of life & its existence beyond Earth
- Chart our destiny in Solar System
3) Sun-Earth Connection:
- Understand the changing Sun and it’s effects on the Solar System, life & society.
4) Structure & Evolution of the Universe:
- Explain the structure in the Universe & forecast our destiny.
- Explore the cycles of matter & energy in the evolving universe.
- Examine the ultimate limits of gravity & energy in the universe.
Earth Science with the goal being to obtain a scientific understanding of the entire Earth
system on a global scale.
- practical goal to enable us to predict both short & long term changes in biosphere
dynamics.
Human Space Flight with the goal of opening the space frontier by exploring, using and
enabling the development of space and expanding the human experience into the far
reaches of space.
Aerospace Technology with the goal of achieving the full potential of space for all human
endeavors through affordable space transportation.
- Note the following points: The policy goals for NASA are to:
- enhance knowledge
- help understand human influence on the environment
- conduct human space flight for scientific, commercial and exploration reasons
- explore space technologies & applications in support of economic competitiveness.
Thus NASA will:
1) Operate ISS primarily as a means to support a future decision on the desirability of
further human exploration (read Mars but this is the last mention in the space policy
on human exploration of Mars).
2) Help develop an RLV to enable U.S. to leapfrog launch competitors
3) Focus on robotic exploration of Mars
4) Focus on reducing cost by innovative technologies (this arose from the concern that
NASA focused only on science return not cost)
5) Always keep safety in mind for ISS & shuttle (i.e. there will be no more Challenger
disasters)
6) Not compete with the private sector (especially JPL, a concern of the past)
7) Get out of non-core things that can be provided by the space section (i.e. space
communication)

Air Force Space Policy
Tenants
? Spacepower will be as decisive in future combat as airpower is today
? The Air Force leads the integration of space throughout all joint operations
? Create fully integrated air and space forces that exploit the aerospace environment
Air Force Space Policy
Navy Space Policy
Army Space Policy
r e e y
Objectives
? Integrate space into all facets of joint operations
? Develop the world's best spacelift and infrastructure
? Create effective TMD, NMD, and GMD capabilities
? Pursue international space cooperation for a global missile warning system
y e y
- Space is an essential medium for the conduct of maritime operations.
DON will integrate space into every facet of naval operations. The primary focus is to
provide space-based support to the warfighter. Emphasis is placed on naval tactical
requirements and operations
y e y
- Recognizes that Army is dependent on space systems, capabilities and products
- Space products are a force multiplier
- Space to be embedded in Army doctrine, training scenarios, wargames, exercises, and
plans.
- Requires developing, maintaining, and enhancing Army space expertise,to include
provision for training of space-knowledgeable soldiers and civilians.
NRO
NRO operates the nations reconnaissance satellites.
Budget is classified.
NRO is in the business of providing US global information superiority through global
reconnaissance.
?From the National space policy:
- satellite photoreconnaissance for intelligence collection and arms control.
- satellite reconnaissance for planning and conduct of military operations.
- satellite reconnaissance for mapping and for disaster relief.
- reconnaissance includes signals & measurements and signature intelligence.
? Equities are in the business of reconnaissance and intelligence.
? Advanced Systems and Technology directorate has recently released innovation
initiatives to develop leap frog space technologies.

? Market for global telecommunications seems large given:
1)60% of world does not have basic phone service.
2) less than 5% of world population has a PC.
? This perceived large growth in commercial industry is driving the government to
consider partnerships.

Why Partner?
US Space Policy for commercial calls for:
A. Support and enhance US economic competitiveness while protecting US national
security. {this has shifted from economic first to national security first in grey areas}
B. Purchase of commercial space services where feasible and noncompetitive with
private sector by government. {This is to allow the commercial industry to grow. An
interesting issue is how strongly the national security exception is pushed especially
in the case of telecommunications. A clear military need for them but also a concern
about how reliable the commercial people will be}
C. US will not subsidize commercial space. {This flies in the face of the launch range
policy}
D. US will transfer technology to the private sector. {This explicitly recognizes the key
government role in developing much of the technology behind the commercial
success, e.g. ACTS satellite.}
E. US will aim for free and fair trade in commercial launch services. {Long term policy
goal which conflicts with national security goals and foreign policy goals].
Commercial industry top issues that have been on space policy (1999):
- “Politicizing’ of space in the US , e.g. “Chinagate”.
- Technology transfer impediments to free trade.
- Very long licensing times by US State Dept.
- Integration of Air Traffic Control and Space System control as space constellations
grow.
- Declaring outerspace a free trade zone to encourage R&D and manufacturing in
space.
? First three issues arise from the collision of the national security and commercial
space policies.
- A fundamental issue for the commercial people is the uncertainty generated in the
markets by the US government actions. E.g. Rejection of Hughes request to launch
on Long March was unexplained. Licensing of hyperspectral data to commercial
users is still underway with no clear resolution.
- Uncertainty increases financial risk which increases cost of borrowing money. This
is an issue that governments do not have to deal with.
- Thus the biggest issue for commercial people is free trade associated with stability of
policy.
- There are huge implications for natural security.
