Abstract

Military forces currently limit their activities to near-space, and it is in this very near-space that critical missions such as identification, precautionary missions, target achievement, tracking, telecommunications, navigation, meteorology, medical activities and investigation and research missions are conducted in an environment completely different from land, sea or air. Different geographic factors assume different meanings in space. Therefore, any space activity requires familiarity with concepts required for maneuvering in the modeling environment.
