	Air Force Space Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is a major command of the United States Air Force with headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, USA.
		Space forces support involves launching satellites and other high-value payloads into space using a variety of expendable launch vehicles and operating those satellites once in the medium of space.
		The AF Space Command Patch was worn on the uniform of personnel aboard the Prometheus, Earth's first operational deep space battle cruiser.

		Space has become, as the Secretary of the Air Force James Roche has stated, "an equal partner" and completely integral to combat operations in every medium — air, land, sea and space.
		Space superiority is our imperative — it requires the same sense of urgency that we place on gaining and maintaining air superiority over enemy airspace in times of conflict.

		The Air Force, saying it must secure outer space to protect the nation from attack, is seeking President Bush's approval of a national-security directive that could move the United States closer to fielding offensive and defensive space weapons, according to White House and Air Force officials.
		Air Force officials said Tuesday that the directive, which is still in draft form, does not call for militarizing space.
		Another Air Force space program, nicknamed Rods From God, aims to hurl cylinders of tungsten, titanium or uranium from the edge of space to destroy targets on the ground, striking at speeds of about 7,200 mph with the force of a small nuclear weapon.

		Space Command seeks to instill a “warfighter ethos” and acquire the means to guard the high ground.
		Space is just as integrated into modern combat as bullets are, said Leaf, adding that he looks forward to the day when space is not thought of as something distinct or divorced from “regular” combat power.
		The Air Force in October took possession of a system that used to be called the “Navy Fence,” a series of radars spread across the southern part of the lower 48 states.

	Responsive Space - March 2006
		While the Air Force Research Laboratory and other military organizations are continuing their work with experimental research payloads, they have begun work on a series of small satellites called TacSats that are expected to pave the way for deployed commanders to call up space capabilities on short notice.
		If commanders have to wait for the satellites to be checked out over the course of two months, it practically negates the benefit of having an inventory of satellites and rockets in storage to be launched on two days’ notice, Payton said during a speech in December sponsored by the Space Transportation Association.
		Operationally responsive space requires a different mind-set—one similar to that for aircraft, where a problem is usually dealt with in a matter of hours or days, he said.

		Space warriors deployed to the coalition’s air and space operations centers (AOC); some served as expert advisors to the combined force land component commander; and others deployed to wing-level units where they integrated, facilitated, and generated space-combat effects.
		Space forces operating from home stations backed up those deployed experts and in many cases provided direct support and information to joint and coalition forces in the field.
		Space professionals must understand the comprehensive set of space capabilities and the effects they can deliver, but they must also understand how those effects are integrated with those generated in the air, on land, or at sea.
