A roadmap for space

Article Abstract:

The US Air Force will acquire communications, imagery and space launch services from commercial operators in the future. The changes will be due to new technologies developed by commercial firms as space services will have more capacity than military structures, resulting in long-term savings for the Air Force. Through the use of commercial services, the Air Force will be able to reduce financial outlays for launching and tracking facilities, satellites and communication preparations.
