	Space warfare - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		Space warfare was the use of military starships and other spacecraft for the purposes of warfare across star systems and the galaxy.
		Evolving from water navy engagements and in turn the earliest orbital battles, space warfare became a high technology affair that often defined the outcome of the galaxy's most important conflicts.
		Space warfare was inspired by and heavily based on aquatic and aerial engagements using surface and sub-surface warships, and atmospheric fighters, respectively.

	Space warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Space warfare therefore includes ground-to-space warfare, such as attacking satellites from the Earth, as well as space-to-space warfare, such as satellites attacking satellites.
		Early efforts to conduct space warfare were directed at space-to-space warfare, as ground-to-space systems were considered to be too slow and too isolated by Earth's atmosphere to be effective.
		Space warfare was seen primarily as an extension of nuclear warfare, and so theoretical systems were based around the destruction or defense of ground and sea-based missiles.

		The military refers to space as "the ultimate high ground." This is an offshoot of a fundamental principle of warfare: it is advantageous to be above your enemies, whether at the top of a hill or in orbit.
		Space warfare would have to compete for military money with other undertakings, including new jet fighters and helicopters, missile interceptors, and force readiness improvements.
		Colorado, with Space Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, is the military's space headquarters and operations center for space missions.

		However, for a neutral particle beam traversing empty, field-free space, the dispersion is proportional to the temperature of the beam.
		Her drive was set on un-streamlined pylons spaced about her stern while the cockpit glass bulged beyond the curvature of her skin, ostensibly for wider vision with less distortion; the effect on the casual observer was that of a mutated hornet's head.
		Fast maneuvering in space means killing momentum one way as well as building it up in another, so there's murderous acceleration and deceleration every few seconds, with the motor blasting in all directions, eating up hydrogen and putting incredible stress on the pilots.

	New Squadron Trains For Space-Based Aggression
		The threat of space assets being used against American and allied forces is a relatively new concern for war planners.
		The space aggressors were created nearly two years ago to study the potential threat of enemies using commercial space assets against the U.S. military.
		Widman said the intent from the Pentagon and Space Command headquarters in Colorado Springs is to pull together his aggressors with air and information warfare aggressor squadrons to create a "full spectrum" opposition force that would mirror the realistic space abilities of an enemy today.

		If Warfare is to be an effective means of settling political differences, some way has to be found to keep everyone from just Slagging each other, and most of the KNOWN GALAXY, into oblivion.
		However, space fleet organization is usually based specifically on 20th century CE naval organization, especially the first quarter of that century.
		BATTLESHIPS and (especially) Battle Cruisers continued to be the queens of the space fleets right through the 1960s, long after their prototypes had been relegated to amphibious gunfire support, or the scrapheap, by the dominance of aircraft carriers.

		The debate over weapons in space continues to be vigorous and controversial; both sides are entrenched in their own positions, asserting that only their judgements are buttressed by "moral" and correct arguments.
		The purpose for employing space weapons in space warfare is to achieve space superiority and, along with air and surface capabilities, establish a battlespace in which we can satisfy our national security objectives.
		Today, space capabilities are integral to the way our nation fights wars, and their enhancement of air and surface capabilities has given our nation's military tremendous advantages in recent conflicts.

	SPACE BASED WARFARE by Mike Haran - Page 1 of 3
		Using the past as a jump of point and then projecting it in to the future in seems that it will be the air breathing vehicles of the twentieth and the twenty -first century that will set the tone for future wars.
		If there is no space superiority, limited commando raids will be the order of the day aimed at the ground based laser and other military infrastructure.
		It has been proposed by some scientists that ground based laser transmits a laser beam into space where is then directed at a receptor and is then deflected into a combustion chamber.

	International Space Law in Transformation: Some Observations
		Space was the domain of high-status government employees such as astronauts and the occasional junketing Congressman, not a place for pleasure jaunts by the citizenry.
		Space proponents hope and expect that the growth of space tourism, starting with suborbital flights and eventually extending to orbital stays and perhaps even lunar excursions, will produce sufficient traffic (and attention to cost lowering) to produce dramatic improvements in access to space.
		A space elevator, on the other hand, is simply an extension of the Earth's surface and would seem--in the absence of some agreement to the contrary--to possess the legal characteristic of whatever its bottom end is attached to.

		Another interesting development that lends credence to predictions that space will receive more attention in the Bush Administration is the retention from the Clinton Pentagon of Keith Hall, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space and Director of the National Reconnaissance Office.
		Space has been militarized since the first reconnaissance and signals collection satellites were lofted into orbit.
		Developing an active, reliable space attack capability requires repeated tests in and from space before an effective system can be deployed.

	Yorkshire CND - Space Warfare Foolosophy - 5/1/05
		Whether one believes that space should be viewed as a sanctuary or a battleground, China and North Korea have already considered this altruistic proposition and dismissed it in favor of a number of counterspace capabilities.
		The main hypothesis explored is that space weaponization, although inevitable in the distant future, may not be the most appropriate means of protecting US space vulnerabilities in the near term.
		Space exploitation may have started primarily, if not entirely, for military purposes (surveillance and reconnaissance), but in the forty plus years since the launch of Sputnik, space activities have evolved to include commercial endeavors.

	Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today
		The 1967 Outer Space Treaty calls on the exploration and use of outer space to be conducted “for the benefit and in the interests of all countries” and mandates that space may not be subject to “national appropriation” by any means.
		Even if space weapons are not used, their flight-testing or presence overhead, capable of impairing a country’s ability to see, hear, navigate, detect impending danger, and fight, would have profound implications for international relations.
		These states have emphasized that current missions in space, including military missions, are consistent with the principle that space ought to be used for peaceful uses and that the priority task is consolidating the legal environment for space operations.

		The Outer Space Treaty may prohibit certain types of military activity of the Moon, but that is not to going to stop the place from being used for all sorts of quasi-military roles.
		In space warfare, it must be assumed that some satellites and spacecraft are going to be destroyed by the enemy.

	Weaponization of space - SourceWatch
		Marshall, director of the nondescript but powerful Office of Net Assessment, said the nation's ability to project power over long distances will remain 'the fundamental task.' The drawback of America's long military reach is that it is driving more nations to seek nuclear weapons and long-range missiles capable of reaching U.S. soil.
		information warfare - the capability of attacking computer networks from afar - will be part of it, he said.
		Jim Wolf, U.S. eyes space as possible battleground, Reuters, January 18, 2004: "Under a 1996 space policy adopted by then-President Bill Clinton that remains in effect, the United States is committed to the exploration and use of outer space 'by all nations for peaceful purposes for the benefit of all humanity.'"

		The translunar zone is comprised of the space from LSO to approximately one million kilometers from the Earth’s surface, where the solar gravity well begins to predominate and includes the five Lagrangian points.
		The space fighter could be drop-launched to NEO from a large aircraft such as a Boeing 747 or a Lockheed C-5A, launched directly on a large booster, or several could be delivered in a single space shuttle payload.
		Unlike the present space shuttle, the space fighter would have an NEO orbit-to-orbit maneuvering capability and would be able to reach higher orbits such as GEO after a refueling rendezvous with a space shuttle fuel tanker.
