NATO, 5th operational domain, space security, space deterrence, space assetsAbstract
What makes NATO one of the most vulnerable space actors? This article elaborates on the threats the most prominent security provider of the Euro-Atlantic region, NATO encounters in the outer space domain. Such menaces to orbiting security providers are assessed by their potential to inflict significant impairment on NATO’s core tasks. Followingly legal, normative, and military approaches are tested to highlight deterrence as a potential endeavor for addressing contemporary and future challenges in space.
