U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered the creation of “Space Command”, a new organisational structure within the Pentagon that will have overall control of military space operations. The command will be separate from Mr. Trump’s goal to build an entirely new branch of the military called “Space Force,” which has not received approval from Congress. “I direct the establishment, consistent with United States law, of United States Space Command as a functional Unified Combatant Command,” Mr. Trump said in a memo to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis. Speaking at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida’s Cape Canaveral, Vice-President Mike Pence said Space Command would integrate space capabilities across all branches of the military.
