This volume is a product of the efforts of the Institute for National Strategic Studies Spacepower Theory Project Team, which was tasked by the Department of Defense to create a theoretical framework for examining spacepower and its relationship to the achievement of national objectives. The team was charged with considering the space domain in a broad and holistic way, incorporating a wide range of perspectives from U.S. and international space actors engaged in scienti c, commercial, intelligence, and military enterprises. This collection of papers commissioned by the team serves as a starting point for continued discourse on ways to extend, modify, re ne, and integrate a broad range of viewpoints about human-initiated space activity, its relationship to our globalized society, and its economic, political, and security interactions. It will equip practitioners, scholars, students, and citizens with the historical background and conceptual framework to navigate through and assess the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly complex space environment.

M. Elaine Bunn is a consultant on strategic issues with 40 years of experience in the U.S. government working on defense policy. Her writings include articles and book chapters on deterrence, assurance of allies, strategic planning, nuclear policy, missile defense, arms control, and preemption. She is a member of the Nuclear Deterrence External Advisory Board at Sandia National Laboratories. Bunn served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for nuclear and missile defense policy (DASD/NMD) from 2013 to early 2017. Prior to being appointed DASD/NMD, Bunn was a distinguished research fellow in the Center for Strategic Research at National Defense University's Institute for National Strategic Studies, where she headed a project on future strategic concepts. Before that, she was a senior executive in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), where she worked from 1980 to 2000 in international security policy. Bunn was involved with the 1994, 2001, and 2010 Nuclear Posture Reviews. Bunn, a graduate of the National War College, received an MA from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. The concept and rationale for a study of spacepower theory originated in conversations among Department of Defense (DOD) officials during the latter phases of the George W. Bush administration's final Quadrennial Defense Review. After several discussions with researchers in the Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS) at National Defense University (NDU), the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (Preparation and Warning) requested that NDU "craft a spacepower theory similar to that of other domains, for example, sea power." The terms of reference for this project specifically asked INSS to: develop a theoretical framework for examining the fundamental aspects of spacepower and its relation to the pursuit of national security, economic, informational, and scientific objectives. The theory should document the views and perspectives of the principal users of space and should focus on the underlying assumptions regarding why and how we as a society, nation, or military might use space-either alone or, more likely, in tandem with other means-to accomplish specific ends. The task for the INSS Spacepower Theory Project team has been to consider the space domain in a broad and holistic way, incorporating a wide range of perspectives from U.S. and international space actors engaged in scientific, commercial, intelligence, and military enterprises. Through a series of 20 seminars, 2 workshops, and 2 major conferences, experts in the global space community provided and exchanged a rich set of viewpoints, ideas, and theories in an ongoing dialogue. Additionally, members of the Spacepower Theory Project team traveled to Japan, China, India, and Europe to capture viewpoints in regions witnessing increasingly diverse and burgeoning space activity.
