The Pentagon and the U.S. Space Force are finalizing their long-awaited strategies on how the military will partner with commercial space companies, and the documents could be available as soon as this month, according to Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman.

“I know I’ve been saying this for a while, but there is a commercial space strategy that is almost ready for delivery,” Gen. Saltzman said at the Mitchell Institute’s Spacepower Security Symposium on March 27. “And I feel like I’ve built this up to a crescendo now where you’re expecting just everything that could possibly be wanted in this document. But it is coming soon.”
