I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is one of the areas of operation that space control serves to protect?
All the background I'm provided with is that "This mission area includes: operations conducted to protect friendly space capabilities from attack, interference, or unintentional hazards (defensive space control); operations to deny an adversary's use of space capabilities (offensive space control); and the requisite current and predictive knowledge of the space environment and the operational environment upon which space operations depend (space situational awareness)" (JP 1-02).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
