Essentially, it presents our tentative definitions of terms such as outer space, outer space object and weapons in outer space.

The view was expressed that outer space must be protected from the threat posed by weapons in outer space.

Space warfare is combat that takes place in outer space, i.e.

Russia has considerable space potential and experience in outer space exploration.

Many questions have been raised, including a possible distinction between weaponization and militarization of outer space, and definitions of technical terms, such as  outer space , space weapon , space object and peaceful use of outer space .

This multilateral legal regime for outer space, however, bans only the introduction of weapons of mass destruction in outer space.

For example, in response to the increasing commercialization of outer space, the Office for Outer Space Affairs should continue its yearly workshops on space law.

Both are aimed at a single goal that of promoting the security of outer space, strengthening mutual trust and cooperation among States in outer space, and working to prevent an arms race in outer space.

Peaceful uses of outer space

Use of nuclear power sources in outer space

Prevention of an arms race in outer space

Otherwise, the right to the peaceful use of outer space and the safety of outer space assets will be put in jeopardy.

Discussion on how to preserve security in outer space and prevent an arms race in outer space put forward three options to choose from

To face this problem, we need to patch up the international legal system on outer space, in particular we need to ensure that we develop a comprehensive regime preventing weaponization of outer space and an arms race in outer space.

(i) Use of nuclear power sources in outer space

(ii) Use of nuclear power sources in outer space

Transparency and confidence building measures in outer space activities

International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space

(ii) Use of nuclear power sources in outer space

International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space

Transparency and confidence building measures in outer space activities

International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space.

International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space.

Seriously concerned about the possibility of an arms race in outer space, and bearing in mind the importance of article IV of the Outer Space Treaty,

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

The Russian declaration in no way limits possibilities and prospects for international cooperation in outer space exploration or the use of outer space for peaceful purposes.

We firmly believe that only a legal instrument prohibiting the deployment of weapons in outer space and the prevention of the threat or use of force against outer space objects can eliminate the emerging threat of the weaponization of outer space.

Obviously, devising confidence building measures in outer space activities cannot replace efforts to develop a legally binding instrument to prevent the placement of weapons in outer space.

Discussion and papers on nuclear power sources in outer space

The concept of deterrence' in reference to security in outer space.

Russia has taken the initiative to introduce some confidence building measures in outer space, and counts on other States which have outer space programmes following suit.

Such weaponization, we believe, can undermine the international consensus since 1967 on the peaceful uses of outer space and start an arms race in outer space.

There have recently been worrying developments relating to outer space, making efforts to halt the weaponization of outer space the more pressing.
