Space Force refers to a military branch or organization specifically responsible for the conduct of operations in outer space. It focuses on the protection and utilization of space assets, including satellites and other space technologies, as well as the development of capabilities for space warfare. Established in various countries, particularly the United States in December 2019, Space Force aims to ensure national security in the increasingly contested domain of space, addressing challenges such as satellite defense, space surveillance, and the deterrence of hostile actions in space. The term embodies the strategic importance of space as a critical frontier for national defense and military operations.
