Space Threats

Space threats refer to potential dangers and risks associated with activities in outer space that could adversely affect satellites, space missions, and national security. These threats can originate from various sources, including natural phenomena such as space weather events (like solar flares and cosmic radiation) and human-made hazards, such as space debris, anti-satellite weapons, and cyberattacks on space systems. Additionally, geopolitical tensions may lead to militarization of space, further increasing the risk of conflict and threats to both civilian and military space assets. Understanding and addressing these threats is essential for ensuring the safety, security, and sustainability of space operations and the broader implications for global communication, navigation, and scientific advancement.
