Nations keep space weapons programmes hidden from public view
Original: Lack of transparency in what space weapons nations are pursuing and even on what’s already in orbit
Commentary across US regional newspapers highlights growing concern over the secrecy surrounding military space programmes. Governments are pursuing anti-satellite and other space weapons with little disclosure about what is being developed, and even uncertainty persists about what military assets are currently deployed in orbit. The lack of transparency is fuelling debate about arms racing in space and the absence of international verification mechanisms.
Why now: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and military competition in orbit are drawing renewed attention to the secrecy around space weapons.
