The escalating technological advancements within the space sector creates new national security threats as both military and commercial actors now inhibit the space domain. By developing a separate branch within a nation's military, these kinds of new threats can be handled. However, not all countries develop a space branch. This study describes two separate cases, Sweden who has the possibility yet does not have a space force and France who has both the possibility and a military branch focused on the space domain. The findings show that Sweden's political leaders approach militarisation of space differently than France who has a historically strong political vision of space power. In order to achieve space power, this study indicates that a nation needs both vision as well as possibilities. As a result of these findings, and for future studies within the same area, a proto theoretical framework has been designed to categorize a nation based on its visions and possibilities for space power.
