Air Force Space Command

The Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), a U.S. government military organization, was established on September 1, 1982, as Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, and redesignated AFSPC on November 15, 1985, to oversee Air Force space missions. Key activities included satellite control, space surveillance, missile warning, launch operations, and space operations support, centralizing fragmented programs from the Cold War era. Notable achievements encompass the activation of space wings (1st, 2nd, 3rd), the Consolidated Space Operations Center in 1985, and critical roles in operations like the Gulf War GPS support. On December 20, 2019, it was redesignated as Space Operations Command (SpOC) under the United States Space Force, transitioning from Air Force to the new branch by October 21, 2020. No direct involvement in UAP/UFO research is documented in available sources.
