U.S. Space Superiority Executive Order Assessed for Implementation Gaps (warontherocks.com)

• Analyst Zengin assessed Trump's 2025 Executive Order on space superiority.
• She warns reform must be transformation, not acceleration.
• Emphasis on allied cooperation and distributed architectures.

"In 2025, analyst Nazmelis Zengin argued U.S. space superiority faces challenges from mid-tier space powers. In late 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 'Ensuring American Space Superiority.' A year later, Zengin assesses the order's impact: it signals conceptual shift but risks reproducing vulnerabilities if reform equates merely to acceleration rather than transformation. She emphasizes need for distribution, redundancy, and allied contributions over centralized scale."
