Navy Space Command

The Navy Space Command (abbreviated NAVSPACECOM) is a command that is tasked with developing space capability to provide the United States Navy with global communications, targeting, and reconnaissance using space-based assets.

[2] In late 2003 the Defense Secretary requested that the Navy transfer all of its space functions to the Air Force, and by the end of 2004 they were given to the Air Force's 20th Space Control Squadron, while the NNSOC reverted to its original name.

[3] Prior to its dissolution in 2002, the Naval Space Command headquarters had about 300 personnel.

[2] The Chief of Naval Operations ordered the creation of the Navy Space Command (NAVSPACECOM) on 26 April 2019 to serve as the naval component of the reestablished U.S. Space Command.

[9] This accelerated implementation of a 2019 pre-Space Force agreement between the Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Navy to transfer responsibility for the Mobile User Objective System follow-on from the Navy to the Air Force and see the Navy end its space operations mission.
