Imagine a satellite with a robotic arm that knocks other satellites off orbit. It’s not science fiction. It’s science fact in today’s era of Great Power Competition. Watch what could happen in the final episode of our animated video series on the space threats that inspired the creation of the U.S. Space Force five years ago. #USSF5 #SpaceThreats

Could an adversary launch a nuclear weapon and detonate it at a high altitude, creating a radiation burst that destroys all the satellites in its wake? Unfortunately, this science fiction scenario is science fact in today’s era of Great Power Competition. Deterring catastrophic threats like these are why the #SpaceForce was created five years ago and is the subject of the next episode in our animated video series on space threats. #USSF5 #SpaceThreats

DYK? Space debris from kinetic energy weapons can cause catastrophic damage to orbiting satellites and disrupt capabilities critical to our national security. The #SpaceForce was created five years ago, on December 20, 2019, to combat these and other modern day space threats. In part four of our animated space threats series, we visualize the dynamics behind a kinetic energy attack in space.

New emblem, new era: The Space Systems Command insignia was recently added to the Schriever Wall of Honor at LA AFB. Each year, the names of six pioneers in U.S. space and missile development are inscribed on the wall in honor of their contributions to our nation’s space enabled capabilities. This year’s honorees will be announced on September 26th.

Once upon a time it was the stuff of science fiction: lasers in space so powerful they could blind satellites sending GPS and other signals to earth. Today, directed energy weapons are very real and can be used to damage and degrade equipment and signals. In part three of our animated Space Threats Series, we visualize a directed energy attack in space. #USSF5 #SpaceThreats
