In practice, supporting full weight wouldn't be necessary to maintain altitude because the curvature of the Earth adds centrifugal lift as the airplane reaches orbital speed) 2) history – 1942 - Vergeltungswaffe 2 - 1957 Sputnik-1 Satellites Satellites II GeoInt Copernicus •https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGJss4lDaBo •Support to EU External Actions (implemented in partnership with the European Union Satellite Centre and the Emergency Management Service); • • •Maritime surveillance (implemented in partnership with the European Maritime Safety Agency, EMSA); • • •Border surveillance (implemented in partnership with FRONTEX). Space Security Definition: •Clay Moltz: •the ability to place and operate assets outside the Earth’s atmosphere without external interference, damage, or destruction • The three dimensions of space Security by Jean-François Mayence: • „Secure and sustainable access to space and its use, as well as freedom from threats emanating from space.“ -Definition based upon Outer Space Treaty principles (of 1967) -Outer space should remain freely sustainable for all to peaceful use now and in the future Three dimensions - interrelated areas •I) Outer space for security: •Satellite systems contributing to security and defence initiatives • •II) Security in outer space: •Keeping space assets and infrastructure intact against natural and human risks. Maintaining sustainable development •III) Security from outer space: •Protecting humanity and the environment from natural threats and risks originating in outer space Risks and threats •1) Space debris •Kessler syndrome •2) Anti-satellite weapons •Conventional •Nuclear •Direct energy – radiofrequency, microwave and laser techniques •Jamming / disruption / destruction •3) Cyber • •Only non-kinetic capabilities are actively being used in current military operations • Sources Launches (rocket bodies, payloads, mission related objects) Fragmentations (explosions, collisions) Non-fragmentation debris (surface degradation, solid rocket motor particles) Sinks Natural decay (atmospheric drag, solar radiation pressure, lunisolar perturbations) Active Removal (de-orbit, non-propulsive maneuvers) Starfish Prime SM-3 missile Fengyun-1C 1962 2008 2007 Current trends •Privatisation + commercionalisation •Turism •Asteroid mining? •Growing number of actors NewSpace / Space 4.0 •Technological progress = large amount of actors and assets •Cheaper development, production and operation of satellites and launchers •Various industrial sectors - such as IT companies, investment and media companies •New approaches, emphasis on innovation, lowering the overall price due to competition •Products are not perfect but sufficient •Priority is given to a lower price before a perfect performance, reliability and endurance •More efficient and simpler manufacturing processes •Cheaper components, 3D printing, open source software, adaptable production model NewSpace What topics to follow? •Private sector •Legal system •Miniaturization – microsatellites •Evolution of autonomous systems •Antisatellites system •Planetary Defence • • •http://spacesecurityindex.org/ssi_editions/space-security-2019/ •https://espi.or.at/news/public-espi-report-64-security-in-outer-space-rising-stakes-for-europe •https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/31/us/psyche-asteroid-ultraviolet-trnd-scn/index.html?utm_source=f bCNNi&utm_content=2020-10-31T15%3A09%3A31&utm_medium=social&utm_term=link&fbclid=IwAR19p6YUeNxv4B8V v7fWfgDbpIIt8I55LSgBrAPq31f4wa48AJuRXIkzaOQ •https://www.thespacereview.com/article/4056/1?fbclid=IwAR3iKGDTs9VY3y2DXMz4hhxAmKSXeosjxS056AkAInx 62W5ht1aA_PLIc5w •https://www.japcc.org/portfolio/space-natos-newest-operational-domain/ •https://spacenews.com/pentagon-issues-new-strategy-to-defend-u-s-dominance-in-space/ •https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2020/04/22/nato-and-outer-space-now-what/ •https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/mission-extension-vehicle-succeeds-returns-aging-satellite -into-service/ •https://phys.org/news/2020-03-planetary-defenders-validate-asteroid-deflection.html •MAYENCE, Jean-Francois. 2010.
