Innovation and Challenges to Space Security in the Cyber Age

Space in day-to-day lifeSpace in day-to-day life

Global Space Activity

• 2013 Space Market 314B$• About 1100 active and operating satellites• 10 space launching countries: Russia, USA, European Space

Agency, China, Japan, India, Israel, Iran, North-Korea, South-Korea

• Continuous increase in the number of governments active in space - over 60 countries own space assets– Greater interest in space activity in South America, the

Middle East, and Africa• About 80 launches a year• 192 satellites launched into space in 2013.

Space is a congested, contested and competitive environment

What is Space Security and Sustainability?

The ability of all humanity to continue to use outer space for peaceful purposes and socioeconomic benefit over the long term.
