Add to ORKGThe United States Air Force and the Department of Defense are moving toward normalizing space operations, from specialized one-of-a-kind launch to standardized launch, much as they provide airlift today. Normalized launch will enhance our capability to meet contingency operations responsive to the rapidly changing world geopolitical situation. The current space infrastructure will not fully support future launch operation concepts. We must be more sensitive to environmental concerns, and improved performance standards are needed for future space facilities* The Air Force is taking the lead in bringing together the worldwide space community in developing a process for performance planning of future space bases
