SUMMARY:Emerging Threats in Space
DESCRIPTION:We rely on space every day! Emerging threats in space pose significant challenges to global security and technological infrastructure. These include the development of anti-satellite weapons (ASATs) that can disable critical satellites used for communication\, navigation\, and defense. Space debris from past missions and collisions increases the risk of damaging active satellites\, creating a cascade of potential disruptions. Additionally\, cyberattacks targeting satellite systems and ground control networks highlight the vulnerability of space-based assets to digital threats. As space becomes increasingly crowded and contested\, international cooperation and policy frameworks will be essential to mitigate risks and ensure the sustainable use of this vital domain.
