摘要：	The use of satellites to support military operations has grown dramatically in recent years, which has increased the exposure of military satellite systems to targeting. To combat this risk to its space systems, the Department of Defense has prescribed increased military space cooperation with the United States closestfriends and allies. This thesis investigates the United States history of partnering with three of its closestalliesFrance, Australia, and Japansince the dawn of the space age to see where the best opportunities forenhanced military space cooperation exist today. It finds that changes in the military space organizations,capabilities, and policies of these three allies since 2008 have significantly increased the ability of theirmilitaries to collaborate fruitfully with the Department of Defense. Furthermore, aided by the ongoinggrowth of their military space cadres, collaboration with these countries can expand from a traditional focuson technical applications into combined education, doctrine, and policy. The thesis closes on a cautionarynote, arguing that the Department of Defense needs to carefully consider how it will develop trust withforeign spacefaring militaries, with the Department of Commerce likely to assume responsibility for the foreign engagement associated with the United States space situational awareness data-sharing agreements by 2024.
