Summary/Abstract: Space-based services have become integrated into our daily lives. Civilians, industry, government and military users have become dependent on services such as weather, satellite communication, global navigation and timing. From NATO’s perspective, Space Power is strategically important. Current and future crises require a combined and an effective use of Land, Air, Sea and Space capabilities. Space systems are developed because they provide a capability that is only possible from Space or because they are a more cost effective solution to other methods.
