He surveys how the superpowers use space for military purposes and appraises the value of satellites for each side. He also assesses the threats to U. S. and Soviet space systems and the countermeasures that can be employed to reduce their vulnerability. After evaluating the potential usefulness of antisatellite weapons in a range of wartime contingencies, he analyzes the feasibility of arms control in space.
