United States Space Command
United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) is a branch of the U.S. military responsible for operations in space. Its mission includes protecting American interests in space, coordinating satellite activities, and ensuring the safety of space assets against threats. Established again as an independent command in 2019, USSPACECOM focuses on monitoring space activities, supporting national defense, and fostering space partnerships with allies. It aims to maintain U.S. dominance in space, which is crucial for national security, communication, navigation, and intelligence gathering.
