Spaceflight Security...More Than Just Fences and Cameras
 
Commercial spaceflight requires more than perimeter fences and CCTVs to keep it secure. 

 
Like any enterprise, commercial spaceflight requires a broad base of security programs to ensure its survival.  Below are website links to information that will improve your situational awareness of the spaceflight environment...on the ground or in space.
 
Need a little insight into current U.S. Federal Policy, regulations and guidelines?  Here's the link to the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST).  
 
 
Need a little business intelligence on the U.S. Federal Strategic Vision for commercial space?  Here's the link to the Commercial Space Transportation Fiscal Year 2008 Business Plan, dated November 20, 2007.
 
 Here are some useful links to aid you with your space security situational awareness.
