WASHINGTON: In 2018, Congress is likely to override the Air Force’s objections and carve out some kind of Space Corps. What kind of Space Corps is the question.
Both sides of this debate agree that space will be a battlefield in future war. Instead of leaving US satellites unmolested to support operations on earth, future adversaries will try to jam them, hack them or destroy them. Senior US officials increasingly speak of pursuing “offensive†capabilities in space, to the consternation of arms control types. Meanwhile China actually shot down a satellite in a 2007 test, and both China and Russia have tested anti-satellite systems since.
