Critique and recommendations for U.S. national space policy

Abstract

Current National Space Policy does not adequately address the current era of Great Power Competition within the space warfighting domain. A National Defense Space Strategy is needed to ensure the U.S. retains its competitive advantage over all current and future adversaries in space. This strategy should prioritize the development of new space-based capabilities that extend beyond near-earth orbit into cislunar space in order capitalize on the resources and strategic advantage offered by this emerging space frontier.
