Orbital Sovereignty: Who Controls Space Services in a Crisis?
Original: Orbital Sovereignty: Who Controls Space-Enabled Services in a Crisis?
Defence and space policy analysts are debating 'orbital sovereignty' — the question of who controls satellite-based services such as navigation, communications and Earth observation when a crisis or conflict disrupts them. The discussion centres on whether states can rely on commercial and foreign-owned space infrastructure, and how nations should secure independent access to critical space-enabled capabilities.
Why now: Growing reliance on satellites for military and civilian services has made control of space assets a pressing security concern.
