About the Author:
Two-and-a-half years before Russia launched the first Sputnik satellites in 1957, the United States had already established a secret policy that emphasized peaceful applications of space technology and set the precedent of using satellite overflight for reconnaissance collection. Almost all of the organization and management structures that were created in the 1950s continue to affect U.S. national security space policy today.
Peter L. Hays, PhD, is a senior scientist with the Science Applications International Corporation supporting the National Security Space Office in the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This thorough examination of the roots and motivations for U.S. national security space policy provides an essential foundation for considering current space security issues.During the Cold War era, space was an important arena for the clashing superpowers, yet the United States government chose not to station weapons there. Today, new space security dynamics are evolving that reflect the growing global focus upon the broad potential contributions of space capabilities to global prosperity and security.Space and Security: A Reference Handbook examines how the United States has developed and implemented policies designed to use space capabilities to enhance national security, providing a clear and complete evaluation of the origins and motivations for U.S. national security space policies and activities. The author explains the Eisenhower Administration's quest to develop high-technology intelligence collection platforms to open up the closed Soviet state, and why it focused on developing a legal regime to legitimize satellite overflight for the purposes of gathering intelligence. This thorough examination of the roots and motivations for U.S. national security space policy provides an essential foundation for considering current space security issues.During the Cold War era, space was an important arena for the clashing superpowers, yet the United States government chose not to station weapons there.
