Cooperation and Collaboration in Space

摘要

Although more than 60 nations or consortia now operate in space, i the United States is significantly l more dependent on space-based capabilities than any of its likely adversaries, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton A. Schwartz said in November at the Air Force Association's Global Warfare Symposium in Los Angeles. National security space assets have recently undergone perhaps their most significant recapitalization in history. What some refer to as a decade-long "development binge" has led to a host of new technologies about to come online, such as enhanced signals on the Global Positioning System constellation to make it more resistant to jamming and to provide enhanced commercial aviation safety.
