DISCLAIMER
The logo above was based on the existing Shield of Air Force Space Command (no copyright infringement intended.)
The centrally dominant globe represents the earth as viewed from space, the earth being both the origin and control point for all satellites. The emblem is provided its distinctive appearance by two symmetric ellipses representing the orbital paths traced by satellites in earth orbit, the satellites themselves being symbolically depicted as four-point stars. The 30-degree orbital inclination and symmetrically opposed placement of the satellites signify the worldwide coverage provided by Air Force satellites in accomplishing space-based surveillance, navigation, weather, missile warning and communications missions. The slight tapering of the orbital ellipses represents the characteristic eastward motion. The centrally superimposed deltoid symbolizes both the Space Force upward thrust into space and the launch vehicles needed to place all satellites in orbit. The distinctive dark blue background shading and small globe and stars symbolize the space environment.

These two sets of insignia are similar except for the color schemes: gold/black and blue/white.
- United States Space Force Enlisted Ranks (Gold)
- United States Space Force Rank (Blue)
.
The design of the enlisted ranks are based on the U.S. Air Force enlisted rank insignia.
The rank structures and pay grades are based on and a combination of both the
United States Marine Corps rank insignia and the United States Air Force officer rank insignia.
(As of June 2018) The U.S. Space Force (USSF) (if approved by Congress) is a proposed sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces intended to have control over military operations in outer space. It would absorb the operations and duties of the Air Force Space Command, a major command of the United States Air Force that currently handles and supports most of the country’s military operations in space.

Your enlisted ranks are NOT specifically based on the USMC enlisted ranks -there is no “Technical Sergeant” in the Marine Corps. Furthermore, the addition of a “rocker” (the additional stripe rounding, or connecting, the ends of the chevrons in all of the US Ranks) is indicative of a “staff” non-commissioned officer. The US Marines and US Army add this at the E-6 (Staff Sergeant) level.
Any such rank structure that would be created would necessitate a deep understanding of what the rank insignia’s of the services mean, what each element of the insignia’s mean, and what the new meaning intended would be. All of the ranks have an extended history and tradition supporting them, with the US Air Force albeit being the youngest of them. However Army and Navy rank names and insignia’s date back well before the birth of the USA, to British Empire and Napoleonic sources.
If and when this were to occur, the creation of the various portions of the ranks would not just be the work of people who really, really like star trek; but people who would be directed to carefully consider the historical meanings and traditions of military service, as well as the future implications of each facet of their employment.
You can’t call an E1-E3 service member “Spaceman.”
Nor would you necessarily call an E5 Space Force member a “Sergeant.”

Is this a real thing? Does the United States space corps a thing?

I like the design. It acknowledges the Space Force’s Air Force heritage while being distinctive unto itself. Additional suggestion: the Blue insignia are for personnel who have not had space-based duty. The Gold insignia serve the purpose of Astronaut Wings. Those would only be authorized for people who have actually been to space for USSF duties. The version for use with OCP would need some other indicator, as they would always be blue-on-olive. Perhaps a frame or side bars?

Hi, I appreciate the comment and ideas! I really like your ideas, my designs are not really completed and are ongoing, as I intended them. I didn’t add any officer ranks, for example. Maybe I will continue with them now that the actual Space Force branch creation has been moving along.
In the military, specifically in the Marine Corps, the rank structure and insignia are all the same for each respective rank and I think that applies to the other branches too. I would like to keep it that way to avoid confusion. Also, having bars on the ranks indicate that they are officers, specifically warrant officers, lieutenants and captains.
I like your idea about OCP or camouflage (cammies) uniform as well. But if they wear these insignias in cammies, they’ll just be black metal or plastic. Check this out: https://www.marines.mil/portals/1/Publications/MCO%201020.34H%20v2.pdf?#page=108

While I like most of the stripe designs, I don’t like the Army names. It should be Air Force terminology. Spaceman should be used. Such as Spaceman First Class. Also the rank should line up with Air Force ranks. That is E-7 should be Master Sergeant in both cases. Basically use the Air Force strips with your design. Replace Airman with Spaceman and change the stripe color to black. I am a retired Air Force Master Sergeant.
