The World of 2020 and Alternative Futures. Volume 3.

Abstract

SPACECAST 2020 was a Chief of Staff of the Air Force(CSAF)-directed space study, challenged to identify and conceptually develop high-leverage space technologies and systems that will best support the warfighter in the twenty-first century. This is the third of four monographs: Executive Summary, The SPACECAST 2020 Process, The World of 2020 and Alternative Futures, and Operational Analysis. SPACECAST 2020 teams used different proposed futures to enrich concepts about future space activity The study group developed a most likely future, the SPACECAST world view, and several alternate futures. This monograph details the distant future as constructed by military officers as a backdrop for their exploration of ideas about the United States space activity circa 2020.
