The purpose of this paper is to propose a spacepower theory and explore the implications of such a theory on future space operations and force structure. Air concepts are considered for what insights they provide to the logic process and operational concepts. This paper emulates the logical process for the development of air concepts while avoiding many contentious issues regarding the relationship between air and space forces. Issues such as a separate space service, air and space integration, and the concept of aerospace forces are not addressed.
