U.S. Space Force

Satellites orbiting Earth make life easier for people all over the world. These devices high above the planet make technology such as global television and modern banking possible. Satellites also play key roles in keeping the United States safe from its enemies. The Space Force is the newest branch of the U.S. military. Among its many responsibilities is protecting U.S. satellites from a variety of dangers, including possible attacks, damage from the sun, and even crashes with other satellites. Part of The U.S. Space Force series, Guardians of U.S. Satellites discusses the ways the Space Force tracks and protects these important devices that make modern life on the planet possible.

The U.S. Space Force is the newest branch of the United States military. Founded in 2019, the Space Force doesn't yet have a long history as a separate part of the service, but many of its members have served in the U.S. military for decades. Most Space Force guardians are former members of the U.S. Air Force, the military branch that formerly oversaw matters relating to Earth's interests in space. Today, the Space Force protects those interests. Part of The U.S. Space Force series, The Creation of the U.S. Space Force explores the reasons this new military branch was needed, how it came into being, and how it is likely to change in the future.

The Space Force is the newest branch of the U.S. military. Tasked with protecting U.S. interests in space, these service members need the most advanced technology available to perform their jobs. Space Force guardians use computers to control satellites orbiting Earth miles above the planet's surface. These members of the Space Force also train to defend these important devices from attacks in case another nation tries to disable them. Because technology is always changing, the Space Force is always developing new tools, so guardians will be ready to face whatever challenges come their way. Part of The U.S. Space Force series, Technology of the U.S. Space Force discusses the tools and training that help this military branch perform its important work.

The U.S. Space Force is the United States' newest military branch. Among its many duties is supporting the International Space Station. More than a dozen nations, including the United States, share this orbiting spacecraft which is used for scientificresearch and technology development. Some Space Force guardians have traveled to the ISS as astronauts, but most guardians support the ISS from miles away on Earth. Part of The U.S. Space Force series, Guardians of the International Space Station discusses the history of the ISS and the Space Force's role in keeping the structure and everyone aboard it safe.

The U.S. Space Force is tasked with many important responsibilities in space. One of the most important is protecting U.S. satellites from attacks from the nation's enemies. Foreign countries could use technology to disable or even destroy the satellites the U.S. military depends on for communication and other tasks vital to national security. The Stormbringers are the part of the Space Force trained to react if any enemy of the United States threatens its satellites. They are even prepared to fight a war in space if one ever occurs. Part of The U.S. Space Force series, The Stormbringers, Preparing for War in Space discusses the part of the Space Force that trains to bring the storm to defend U.S. interests in space.

When the U.S. Space Force was created in 2019, thousands of people wanted to join this new military branch. Many of the people accepted transferred from the U.S. Air Force. Other applicants were new to the military. With jobs for enlisted members, officers, and even civilians, the Space Force offers its guardians the chance to help protect U.S. interests in space in a variety of ways. Part of The U.S. Space Force series, Joining and Serving in the U.S. Space Force explains the requirements and training process for becoming a Space Force guardian. It also explores the many careers available to people interested in joining this newest branch of the U.S. military.
