The two aspects can be summarized as "space for security on earth" and "the safeguarding of space for peaceful endeavors." The second, updated edition of this handbook provides a sophisticated, cutting-edge resource on the space security portfolio and the associated technology, applications and programs to help fellow members of the global space community and other interested policy-making and academic audiences keep abreast of the current and future directions of this vital dimension of international space policy. Various dimensions of space security as well as space for security on Earth are described, covering space policy and the geopolitics of space, existing and planned applications and programs, as well as technological solutions. This second edition covers the recent space and security developments that have taken place in Europe and worldwide over the last years, along with new challenges that must be addressed. At its conclusion, the book provides forward-looking recommendations, especially in the area of space governance and transparency and confidence-building measures Notes Includes author index Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 16, 2020) In Springer Nature eReference Subject Space security -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Space security -- International cooperation -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Space security Aerospace engineering Astronautics Computer networks International law Law of the sea System safety Seguretat espacial.
