The Future of Security in Space: A Thirty-year US Strategy
In the next thirty years, human economic and security activity is likely to embrace
cislunar space, the area between the Earth and the Moon. This transition must be built upon a sound regulatory, security, and technological framework, and human capital base, Clementine Starling, Mark Massa and Christopher Mulder argue in this
Atlantic Council Strategy Paper. They suggest replacing the 1967
Outer Space Treaty with a new, foundational treaty that addresses the security and commercial realities of space in the twenty-first century. The paper identifies areas that need improved norms, regulation, and laws, and outlines a thirty-year strategy for the United States, its allies and partners to harness today’s innovation, shape the trajectory of space activity and discovery, and secure this evolving domain to ensure that humankind can reap its benefits.
