Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is distinct from U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM), a unified combatant command. AFSPC was a major command within the U.S. Air Force (later integrated into the U.S. Space Force in 2019).

Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), initially established as Space Command on September 1, 1982, was a major command of the United States Air Force responsible for military space operations. Renamed to AFSPC on November 15, 1985 to distinguish it from parallel space commands in other services, the organization was headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado and operated approximately 12,000 personnel. Its primary mission encompassed missile warning systems, satellite launch operations, space surveillance, satellite control, and command-and-control infrastructure for national leadership during the Cold War. AFSPC was redesignated as a field command of the United States Space Force in 2019 and subsequently reorganized as Space Operations Command in 2020. No direct UAP/UFO investigation role is documented in public records; AFSPC's focus remained on conventional military space operations and strategic deterrence.

Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), inicialmente estabelecido como Space Command em 1º de setembro de 1982, era um comando maior da Força Aérea Estadunidense responsável pelas operações espaciais militares. Renomeado para AFSPC em 15 de novembro de 1985 para distingui-lo de comandos espaciais paralelos de outros serviços, a organização era sediada na Base Aérea de Peterson, Colorado e operava aproximadamente 12.000 pessoal. Sua missão primária abrangia sistemas de alerta de mísseis, operações de lançamento de satélites, vigilância espacial, controle de satélites e infraestrutura de comando e controle para a liderança nacional durante a Guerra Fria. O AFSPC foi redesignado como um comando de campo da Força Espacial Estadunidense em 2019 e subsequentemente reorganizado como Space Operations Command em 2020. Nenhum papel documentado de investigação de UAP/OVNI é encontrado em registros públicos; o foco do AFSPC permaneceu em operações espaciais militares convencionais e dissuasão estratégica.
