This monograph assesses China's rise as a space power and its implications for the US. The author argues that the country's use of space power is part of an integrated approach to increasing its comprehensive national power and achieving great power status. As a result, China’s increasing space power challenges the US militarily, economically, commercially and politically. To maintain its lead the US will not only need to improve technologically, but also train and keep a competent workforce, develop new and innovative ways to compete commercially and expand the role of space in its exercise of soft power.
