Given the interests of China, Russia, and the United States, space is becoming an area of great power competition. The changing nature of the space domain demands monitoring of trends in space and of counterspace weapons. In this year’s report by the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Todd Harrison, Kaitlyn Johnson et al assess the growing space and counterspace capabilities of China, Russia, India, Iran, North Korea, and other nations. Although the world is becoming ever-more dependent on assets in space, there are few rules of the road in place to manage space behaviour. The authors discuss the possibility of developing a system of cooperation that allows for freedom of movement in space, but also protects the economic and national security of all countries and explore whether there should be concern about the rapid growth of private satellites and related equipment in space.
