Subject: US ( and allies) claim space as their own )

Here is an interesting article I believe dated Sept. 30th, 2001.

"Because many activities conducted in space are critical to America's national security and economic well being, the ability of the United States to access and utilize space is a vital national security interest," the QDR says. "During crisis or conflict, potential adversaries may target U.S., allied, and commercial space assets as an asymmetric means of countering or reducing U.S. military operational effectiveness, intelligence capabilities, economic and societal stability, and national will."

The QDR stresses that ensuring the freedom of access to space and protecting U.S. national security interests in space are priorities for the DoD.

"The mission of space control is to ensure the freedom of action in space for the United States and its allies and, when directed, to deny such freedom of action to adversaries. As the foundation for space control, space surveillance will receive increased emphasis," the report says.
