Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, looking ahead to 2025 and the sixth year of the Space Force, laid out his top priorities.

The U.S. and China are not having much-needed military discussions about risks in space, cyber, and nuclear defense—even as the relationship between the countries has thawed in the past year, a defense official said Wednesday.

Col. Andrew Menschner, commander of the Space Force’s Mission Delta 31, told SpaceNews the primary objective is to validate optical communications capabilities at GPS operational altitudes.

In space, China is seeking to nullify the U.S. advantage in on-orbit assets with a range of space weapons, known in U.S. parlance as counterspace capabilities.

Effectively engaging the commercial space industry is a complex endeavor. But Dr. Brad Tousley, a Defense Science Board member and an Elara Nova partner, describes how the United States Department of Defense can effectively leverage its relationship with space industry partners in this month's episode of "The Elara Edge."

Gen. Chance Saltzman, the Space Force’s top officer, announced that the service will establish a new Futures Command in early 2025, a move aimed at giving the military’s newest branch more analytical firepower to justify its programs and spending.

U.S. Space Command is updating its approach to integrating commercial systems into operations as the broader national security space community takes a more forward-leaning posture toward working with the private sector.

A new report for Congress’s US China Economic and Security Review Commission warns that China’s rapidly expanding remote sensing capabilities already have raised risks to US national security, as well as created economic challenges.
