Pentagon Unveils U.S. Space Security Strategy -- Space News

SAN FRANCISCO — Pentagon officials unveiled Feb. 4 a plan that would make changes in the way the U.S. government works with allies and potential adversaries to acquire and protect the space-based assets that are of critical importance to U.S. commercial and military interests.
