From National Strategies to Global Consensus: International Legal Aspects of Cybersecurity in Outer Space Activities

The issue of security in space activities is becoming increasingly acute due to scientific and technological advancements. Cybersecurity plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of satellite systems, and its legal framework is one of the most controversial issues in the global community. Space infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber threats of both technical and social engineering nature. This paper examines initiatives to address the issue of ensuring cybersecurity of space systems at the national, regional, and international legal levels. It also analyzes the key issues to be addressed at the initial stage of developing the relevant legal framework. It also assesses the impact of cybersecurity of space infrastructure on space traffic management. In conclusion, the need to resolve issues of ensuring cybersecurity in space activities primarily at the level of multilateral negotiations is emphasized, and options for solving this problem are proposed.
