Sobre este e-book

Space Warfare Risks explores the escalating potential for military clashes in space, driven by geopolitical tensions and technological advancements. The book highlights how our reliance on space-based assets like satellites for vital services, such as communication and navigation, ironically makes them prime targets. One intriguing fact is the increasing development of anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons, designed to disrupt or destroy these crucial systems. Another key insight is the dangerous lack of comprehensive international laws governing military activities in space, which creates a risk of miscalculation and escalation.

The book traces the evolution of space technology from ballistic missiles to its current integration into military and civilian life, examining the erosion of early treaties intended to prevent weaponization. It delves into current military space capabilities and strategies of major world powers, arguing that the absence of robust international agreements, combined with the growing importance of space assets, has created instability. The approach is holistic, integrating technological, political, and legal considerations.

Beginning with core concepts and key players, the book analyzes threats like ASAT weapons and cyber warfare targeting satellites. It examines case studies of past incidents and near misses to illustrate the fragility of the current situation. Finally, it discusses potential solutions, including arms control and improved space situational awareness, offering a balanced assessment of the dangers and opportunities in space warfare.
