The influence of space power upon history
Article Abstract:
Space power, a mode of warfare, is gaining in importance despite the lack of any comprehensive theory. Space power implies the ability to use space for military, civil, or commercial purposes and deny the same opportunities to the enemy. National space control is possible through hard combat and gives commanders the highest ground for operation. It is possible that the enemy or a third party might enjoy the control. The experience of Desert Storm shows the prospective future of space power. Wars in the information age rely on the quantity and quality of information provided by space systems.

Sea power enables UK to maintain its presence over a region and assert its influence whenever necessary. However, it must be able to adjust to long distance operation and be versatile during crisis situations. It must also be capable of working with other countries.
