Remarks on vision as the bridge from today's space programs and systems to tomorrow's space reality introduce the study. From this an analytical model and framework are presented which form the major contents of the study. The chapter on Policy presents research into the changes of space policy and a discussion on where national space policy is focused. The military imperatives in space in relation to space policy is a major theme of this chapter which concludes that current space policy is revolutionary in nature. The next two chapters on Organizations and Activities and Technology and Systems present research into the DoD and NASA and their recent changes related to space. Numerous space related programs focusing on transportation systems, space control, space weapons and power are analyzed with respect to their potential to effect change. The approach has four basic tenets: visualization on the linkages between space policy and technology, acceptance of a bias for action in space, and, the last, the normalization of space in civil engineering.
