The National Space Security Institute (NSSI) is a unit in the United States Space Force's Space Training and Readiness Delta (Provisional). It is headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado.[2][3]
NSSI's history can be traced back as far as 2001 when the Air Force Space Operations School was activated on 28 July 2001 under the Space Warfare Center (later redesignated as Space Innovation and Development Center) at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. On 2004, it was redesignated as the National Space Security Institute and realigned under the Air Force Space Command and was subsequently transferred to its current location at Peterson Air Force Base.[4] In 2009, it was realigned under Air Education and Training Command and remained there under various units in its Air University until 2020 when it was transferred to the Space Force to form part of the initial structure of STAR Delta (P).[5][6]
