  1. Space geostrategy

    refimprove date December 2009 Geostrategy in Outer space space also referred to as astrostrategy deals with the strategy strategic considerations of location and resources in outer space territory. In essence, it is the study of the strategic application of resources to the geography of space . Initial geostrategic concerns, as humans reach further outside of Earth , will be focused on how strategic locations and resources relate to the Earth itself. Following further development of human presence in space, geostrategic concerns will place greater focus on the relation of geostrategic locations and resources in space with one another. Geography of space See also Solar system , Geological features of the Solar System , Magnetosphere upon Halford J. Mackinder s divisions of Earth s geography into strategic regions, astrostrategists divide space into distinct areas with unique strategic characteristics. The key to each country s strategic relationship with the various regions is transportation technology, especially as it concerns military mobility. If a state could not physically control a strategic area, then it must at least endeavor to deny control of the area to other powers. Because of the vast resources available to those who can control territory and locations in space, any state that could command space would exercise tremendous influence over all others. Earth This area encompasses the physical Earth stopping just before the altitude at which unpowered orbit is possible.
