Adjustments of NATO's Space Policy and Its Implications
NATO has designated space as an operational domain and,on a case-by-case basis,has extended Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty,which addresses collective defense,to apply in space.NATO aims to leverage emerging and disruptive technologies to expand its space superiority,increase the redundancy and resilience of its member states'space capabilities,enhance the interoperability and compatibility of space systems,and strengthen its space deterrence capabilities.These efforts are intended to bolster NATO's overall deterrence and defense posture.This significant shift in space policy is a concrete manifestation of NATO's transformation,highlighting the organization's inherent military-security nature.The adjustment in NATO's space policy is primarily the result of US pressure on the organization,driven by its perception of China's rise and its view of Russia as a threat to Atlantic security.This shift will likely complicate international space governance.The global struggle over whether the space order should be based on US rules or international law is expected to intensify.
