Weapons in Orbit: Reducing Risk in a New Era of Space Competition
The Nuclear Threat Initiative has published a report examining the growing risk of weapons placed in orbit amid intensifying space competition among major powers. The analysis warns that deploying arms in space could fuel arms-race dynamics and miscalculation, and outlines steps governments could take to reduce dangers, including transparency measures, crisis communication channels and renewed international commitments against placing weapons in orbit.
Why now: Rising geopolitical rivalry in space has renewed concerns about the weaponisation of orbit and how to prevent escalation.
