N.N.Emelyanova Space Security as a New Element of International Security

Abstract: Although the national security remains today a major for peace and stability, recognition of the need for an expanded security paradigm is growing. today, the concept of international security includes military, political, environmental, information, food and other forms of security. Since the end of the first decade of the XXI century the scientific community began to talk about a new element of international security — the space security. The goal of space security should consist of providing and supporting freedom of exploring and using outer space for everyone. Today we are faced with many challenges to space security, including the orbital density of satellites, space debris, the use of nuclear energy, the effects of space weather and, of course, possible use of space weapons. The absence of the international space security also brings an effect of uncertainty. In general, all nations of the world are interested in the maintenance of international space security.
