Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is a major command of the United States Air Force. AFSPC is headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Its current commander is General C. Robert "Bob" Kehler.

Approximately 47,000 people, including 25,400 active-duty military and civilians, and 14,000 contractor employees, perform AFSPC missions at 88 locations worldwide. Those 25,400 active-duty personnel are divided into approximately 7,100 military employees and 18,300 civilian employees, although their missions overlap.

AFSPC contributes to United States deterrence tying together and supporting the U.S. military worldwide through the use of many different types of satellites and other space operations.

On October 6, 2008, it was announced that the ballistic missile mission will be transferred to the new Air Force Global Strike Command. This transfer took place in December, 2009. At the same time, it was also announced that AFSPC will gain the cyber warfare mission. AFSPC gained the cyber warfare mission with the stand-up of 24th Air Force under AFSPC in August 2009.
