Annotation

English

The aim of the course is to comprehensively cover a field of space security – that is the secure access to, and operations in space, free from space-related threats. Outer space has its physical, legal, regulatory, political and economic distinctions that interact with threats to this domain. The course also offers an understanding of the geopolitics of space, including the most pressing space security challenges posed by counterspace activities by its major space-faring nations. Students enrolled in the course will gain a thorough knowledge of major topics related to space politics, law and security. A set of lectures and seminars will provide students with a foundational understanding with regard to broad space security issues both from a theoretical and practical point of view.
