1.1.1. MISSION:

1.1.1.1 The Space Professional Management Office (SPMO) was established to accomplish the necessary actions to satisfy Space Commission-identified shortfalls in the development of all USAF Space Professionals directly involved in acquiring, fielding, launching, employing and integrating space power. The Space Professional Development Program (SPDP) is the Air Force approach to space professional development called for by the Space Commission. SPMO is charged with identifying all space professionals and space billets and tracking the information in a Military Personnel Database System (MilPDS) type database application; managing and continuing to develop a Space Professional continuum of education (Space 100, Space 200, Space 300 and mission-specific Advanced Courses); implementing and managing a three-tiered Space Professional certification program; determining/validating training, education, experience and certification requirements for all USAF space billets; and defining career force management guidance, plans and programs. Additional SPMO activities include partnering with the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) to modify accession requirements, working to increase the technical competence of Space Professionals, working with Air University to determine the appropriate level of space content in Air University curricula, updating personnel policies and procedures in line with Space Professional Functional Authority (SPFA) guidance, shaping the certification program to meet changing requirements, analyzing requirements and providing recommendations on personnel management and development, assessing other Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) for inclusion in the SPDP, and other duties as required.

1.1.1.2 The SPMO develops space education policy and maintains AFSPC oversight of all space professional courses (e.g., Space 200, Space 300, Advanced Courses).
