| Why Space Force Wants Out Of GEO, Long Development Cycles | Brian Everstine
The U.S. Space Force will get out of putting large satellites in geosynchronous orbit (GEO) following the launch of the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) program, as service leaders are pressing industry to develop satellites for lower orbits faster and be more realistic about their cost and schedule. |

Our September 29, 1947 edition led with a momentous story: the creation of the U.S. Air Force. “The United States Air Force emerged from its 30-year hibernation in a musty War Department cocoon last week with two simple swearing in ceremonies at the Pentagon that saw James V. Forrestal inducted as first Secretary of National Defense and W. Stuart Symington take the oath as the first Secretary of the Department of the Air Force,” Aviation Week reported.
The reorganization pulling the Air Force out of the Department of the Army – which until then had been known as the War Department – was ordered by President Harry Truman as the Cold War with the Soviet Union was heating up. The new USAF began with 401,362 officers and enlistees, 176,000 civilian employees, “and about 14,000 planes, most of them tactically obsolete.” The article added that the separation of the Air Force “finds the former Army airmen in the early stages of a transition from piston to jet power that will probably bring no fundamental changes in strategic thinking but already foreshadows a revolution in tactics. Core of the USAF will be its Strategic Air Command of long-range bombers [which is] generally conceded to be the only significant portion of the USAF ready for immediate combat.”
