A
space force
is a
military branch
of a nation's
armed forces
that conducts military operations in
outer space
and
space warfare
. The world's first and, as of 2021, only independent space force is the
United States Space Force
, established on 20 December 2019. The
Russian Federation
previously had the
Russian Space Forces
organized as independent troops (
rod
) from 1992 to 1997 and 2001 to 2011, however it was not organized as a military service (
vid
).

[2]
Countries with smaller or developing space forces may combine their air and space forces under a single military branch, such as in the
Russian Aerospace Forces
,
French Air and Space Force
, or Iranian
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force
, or put them in an independent defense agency, such as the
Russian Space Forces
from 1992-1997 and 2001-2011 or the Indian
Defence Space Agency
. The People's Republic of China organizes its space forces as part of the
People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force
, a combined information warfare service branch. Countries with nascent military space capabilities usually organize them within their
air forces
.

History

Russian Space Forces

The first artificial object to cross the
Kármán line
, the boundary between air and space, was
MW 18014
, an
A-4 rocket
launched by the German
Heer
on 20 June 1944 from the
Peenemünde Army Research Center
. The A4, more commonly known as the V-2, was the world's first
ballistic missile
, used by the
Wehrmacht
to launch long range attacks on the
Allied Forces
on the
Western Front
during the
Second World War
. However the designer of the A4,
Wernher von Braun
, had aspirations to use them as space launch vehicles. In both the United States and the Soviet Union, military space development began immediately after the Second World War concluded, with Wernher von Braun defecting to the Allies and both superpowers gathering V-2 rockets, research materials, and German scientists to jumpstart their own ballistic missile and space programs.
[4]
In the United States, there was a fierce
interservice rivalry
between the
U.S. Air Force
and
U.S. Army
over which service would gain responsibility for the military space program, with the Air Force, which had started developing its space program while it was the
Army Air Forces
in 1945, seeing space operations as an extension of their
strategic airpower
mission, while the Army argued that
ballistic missiles
were an extension of
artillery
. The Navy also developed rockets as well, but primarily for
Naval Research Laboratory
projects, rather than an seeking to actively develop an operational space capability. Ultimately, the Air Force's space rivals in the
Army Ballistic Missile Agency
,
Naval Research Laboratory
, and
Advanced Research Projects Agency
were absorbed by
NASA
when it was created in 1958, leaving it as the only major military space organization within the U.S. Department of Defense. In 1954, General Bernard Schriever established the
Western Development Division
within
Air Research and Development Command
, becoming the U.S. military's first space organization, which continues to exist in the U.S. Space Force as the
Space and Missile Systems Center
, its research and development center.

Star Trek
is an American
science fiction
media franchise
originating from the 1960s
television series
Star Trek
, created by
Gene Roddenberry
. That series, now often known as "
The Original Series
"
, debuted on September 8, 1966, and aired for three seasons on
NBC
. It followed the voyages of the
starship USS
Enterprise
, a space exploration vessel built by the
United Federation of Planets
in the 23rd century, on a mission "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before". In creating
Star Trek
, Roddenberry was inspired by
C. S. Forester
's
Horatio Hornblower
series of novels,
Jonathan Swift
's
1726 novel
Gulliver's Travels
, the 1956 film
Forbidden Planet
, and television
westerns
such as
Wagon Train
.
The
Star Trek
canon
includes the
Original Series
, nine spin-off television series, and
a film franchise
; further adaptations also exist in several media. After the conclusion of the
Original Series
, the adventures of its characters continued in the 22-episode
Star Trek: The Animated Series
and six feature films. A television revival beginning in the 1980s saw three sequel series and a prequel:
Star Trek: The Next Generation
, following the crew of a new starship
Enterprise
a century after the original series;
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
and
Star Trek: Voyager
, set in the same era as the
Next Generation
; and
Enterprise
, set before the original series in the early days of human interstellar travel. The adventures of the
Next Generation
crew continued in four additional feature films. In 2009, the film franchise underwent a
reboot
, creating an alternate continuity known as the
Kelvin
timeline; three films have been set in this continuity. The newest
Star Trek
television revival, beginning in 2017, includes the series
Star Trek: Discovery
,
Picard
,
Short Treks
, and
Lower Decks
,
streaming
exclusively on digital platforms. At least two additional television series are in development:
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
[1]
[2]
and
Star Trek: Prodigy
.
[3]
Star Trek
has been a
cult phenomenon
for decades.

Trekkies
" or "Trekkers". The franchise spans a wide range of
spin-offs
including
games
, figurines,
novels
, toys, and
comics
. From 1998 to 2008, there was
a
Star Trek
–themed attraction
in
Las Vegas
. At least two museum exhibits of props travel the world. The
constructed language
Klingon
was created for the franchise. Several parodies have been made of
Star Trek
. In addition, viewers have produced several
fan productions
. As of December 1998, the franchise had generated .8 billion in revenue,
