Trump plans to sign executive order to create US Space Command
STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 18, ARTSAKHPRESS: Vice President Mike Pence will make the announcement Tuesday at the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, two US officials said, and Trump could sign the order as soon as Tuesday.
It is noted that the US Air Force’s existing Space Command would be a key component of the new joint entity, raising space to the same status as US Cyber Command.
The move would actually recreate a US Space Command, which existed from 1985 to 2002. It was disbanded in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
