Major issues have plagued the US military space community                for years. Foremost among these issues is the relationship between air and                space. This work is a comprehensive examination of space power. Military                space-lift vehicle requirements, space architectures, and ground support                infrastructure are major issues. Graduate students at the School of Advanced                Airpower Studies researched and discussed a variety of these issues and their                efforts are brought together here as a collection of master's degree research                theses. The significance of this book lies in the synergism of the                contributions. Although each of the articles reflects varying, well-documented,                independent perspectives with both strengths and weaknesses, in total, the                articles give a mature summary of the best available military thought regarding                space power. The first three papers examine space organization, doctrine, and                architecture. The rest are loosely grouped as predominantly                sanctuary/survivability, space control, or high-ground perspectives.
