  5-15. The space planners proceed with analysis and assessment of the relevant aspects of the space OE
  within the area of operations, emphasizing the space environment and friendly, neutral, and enemy space
  capabilities. Based on the commander’s guidance, planning includes formulating one or more supportable
  space operations COAs to accomplish the mission. Space-specific planning considerations for the receipt of
  mission steps are in table 5-1 (below and page 5-4).
