Within the United States Air Force the transformation in all but name of an air force into an aerospace force was preordained by the advent of the space age. Research and development in astronautics and missile/space technology has resulted in a rapidly changing inventory of weapons. Official confirmation of this alteration of mission and weapons began in November 1956 when the Secretary of Defense assigned to the Air Force operational responsibility for all missiles, except ship-based weapons, having ranges greater than two hundred miles. In September 1959 the Advanced Research Projects Agency charged the Air Force with the development, production and launching of all military space vehicles. And on this latter date the Department of Defense also assigned to the Air Force full responsibility for military operations in outer space.
