Abstract

In an attempt to formulate a spacepower strategy, various strategists have noted the similarities of space operations to those of air and naval operations. Consequently, many have attempted to derive a space theory through analogy and comparison to either airpower or sea control strategic models. Both air and naval models fail, however, to capture the breadth of issues regarding space operations and strategy; yet, by expanding the purview of naval operations to include those of maritime operations, which includes the interaction of land and sea, the nature and scope of space operations can be fully encompassed. By using Sir Julian Corbett's maritime model, a space theory and associated principles can be subsequently derived to predict concerns and develop ideas not currently recognized.
