Ziele und Inhalt des Kurses: Space activities and infrastructure today are more and more critical to international security and the global economy. The space domain is not, however, subject to sovereign control by international law. Like other shared domains, such as the high seas, the polar regions, and arguably cyberspace, space is a domain in which State and non-State actors interact beyond national borders. Given global dependence on space-derived information and an increase in potential adversary threats to space assets, States have taken a number of steps in recent years to protect their national interests in space. The importance of international cooperation and competition in space is increasing by the day. The aim of the course is to give students an overview of international activities in space policy and introduce students to various important national and private space programs starting with the leading national programs of the US (civil (NASA) and military (Space Command)), China, Europe/Germany/France, Russia and India and private programs such as SES, Intelsat, SpaceX and Starlink in order to give students true global perspectives of space policy and the according diplomacy (cooperation between nations and nations and private companies).
