Space is a vital component to any military campaign. It is here that our military satellites orbit the earth, relaying critical and sometimes highly sensitive data to our ground forces. But space is becoming more and more cluttered with over 13000 man-made objects floating around our planet. Itʼs the responsibility of the US Air Forceʼs Joint Space Operations Center to track and monitor all of these objects to protect our assets in space. www.facebook.com www.airforce.com

Memorial Day marks the start of the annual Critical Days of Summer focus on safety. Each year, too many of the air force family are killed or injured during this time when there is traditionally seen an increased risk due to summer activities. This year the campaign starts with a family day on Friday, May 27, and ends on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Last summer, in AFSPC, there was 41 mishaps, one of which resulted in a fatality. AFSPC can do better: any fatality is one too many.

The US Air Force's 45th Space Wing successfully launched a United Launch Alliance-built Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle at 2:10 pm today from Space Complex 41. The Atlas V rocket carried into orbit the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) GEO-1 satellite. This SBIRS GEO launch begins the replacement of the Defense Support Program (DSP) constellation, which has been in operations since 1960. SBIRS will provide critical functions for protecting the United States and its allies by supporting four mission areas: Missile Warning (MW), Missile Defense (MD), Battlespace Awareness (BA), and Technical Intelligence (TI). Gen. William Shelton, Air Force Space Command commander, highlighted this launch was the culmination of many years of hard work and a tremendous team effort. "Last year, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of DSP. Today, we launched the next generation missile warning capability. It's taken a lot of hard work by the government-industry team and we couldn't be more proud.

The army, navy and air force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) have recently started flight training for the year of 2012. The bomber aviation units of the Nanjing Military Area Command conducted such daytime and night training missions as anti-interference, photographing and simulated low-altitude bombing. Bombers that took off in batches succeeded in evading the detection by ground radar networks. They also joined in the training for penetrating the "enemy's" defense line, attacks on ground targets and anti-aircraft defense exercises, together with various aviation units, anti-aircraft gunnery units and anti-aircraft missile units. They were part of the emergency response drills at night. Altogether 13 bombers were called for 59 flights totaling seven and a half hours, with all the requirements completed met by the aircrew during the training missions. "The flight training during daytime and night has put anti-interference into the entire process of our research of tactics, drills and assessment of its outcome. That means we pilots are in real combat situation on the first flight training day of 2012," said Zhang Hanliang, a pilot in a bomber aviation unit of the Nanjing Military Area Command.

The US Air Force's first unmanned re-entry spacecraft landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base at 1:16 am PST today, Dec. 3. The X-37B, named Orbital Test Vehicle 1 (OTV-1), conducted on-orbit experiments for more than 220 days during its maiden voyage. It fired its orbital maneuver engine in low-earth orbit to perform an autonomous reentry before landing. The X-37B is the newest and most advanced re-entry spacecraft. Managed by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (AFRCO), the X-37B program performs risk reduction, experimentation and concept of operations development for reusable space vehicle technologies. "Today's landing culminates a successful mission based on close teamwork between the 30th Space Wing, Boeing and the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office," said Lt Col Troy Giese, X-37B program manager from the AFRCO. "We are very pleased that the program completed all the on-orbit objectives for the first mission." OTV-1's de-orbit and landing mark the transition from the on-orbit demonstration phase to a refurbishment phase for the program. The Air Force is preparing to launch the next X-37B, OTV-2, in Spring 2011 aboard an Atlas V booster.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands. The Cheyenne Mountain Complex is located at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS), a short distance from NORAD and USNORTHCOM headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station falls under Air Force Space Command and hosts the activities of several tenant units. At the height of the Cold War in the late 1950s, the idea of a hardened command and control center was conceptualized as a defense against long-range Soviet bombers. The Army Corps of Engineers supervised the excavation of Cheyenne Mountain and the construction of an operational center within the granite mountain. The Cheyenne Mountain facility became fully operational as the NORAD Combat Operations Center on April 20, 1966.

www.pax-americana.com www.amazon.com The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction. The dream of the original Dr. Strangelove, Wernher von Braun (from Nazi rocket-scientist to NASA director) has survived every US administration since WW2 and is coming to life. Today the technology exists to weaponize space, a massive American industry thrives, and nations are maneuvering for advantage. PAX AMERICANA tackles this pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the World capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat? With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks. As if there weren't enough weapons here on earth, space has become the newest arena for countries around the globe to launch their struggle for supremacy. Denis Delestrac's film Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space is packed full of some truly startling facts — everything from the "Rods of God" (space weapons that can launch from orbit) to the fact that fifty cents of every American tax dollar goes towards military spending. The astronomical costs of arming and policing the heavens (more than $200 billion) has largely fallen to the US Air Force, but with China and other nations challenging American supremacy, there is the potential for <b>...</b>
