Officials tell Fox News that President Trump will sign an executive order calling for the creation of U.S. Space Command in the next few days.

WASHINGTON D.C. (FOX NEWS) – President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order calling for the creation of a U.S. Space Command in the coming days, U.S. officials told Fox News on Monday.

The move falls short of creating a new branch of the U.S. military, a “Space Force,” but officials say that could be the next step.

Officials tell Fox to expect Vice President Pence to make the announcement Tuesday calling for the new U.S. Space Command in a scheduled speech at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

NASA will not be part of the new Space Command, and will remain a civilian entity, officials say.
