This book offers general readers a valuable primer on space policy from an international perspective. It examines the competing themes of space competition and cooperation while providing readers with an understanding of the basics of space technology, diplomacy, commerce, science, and military applications. The recent expansion of human space activity poses new challenges to existing treaties and other governance tools for space, increasing the likelihood of conflict over a diminishing pool of beneficial locations and resources close to Earth. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in international space policy debates, James Clay Moltz examines possible avenues for cooperation among the growing pool of space actors, considering their shared interests in space traffic management, orbital debris control, division of the radio frequency spectrum, and the prevention of military conflict. Moltz concludes with policy recommendations for enhanced international collaboration in space situational awareness, scientific exploration, and restraining harmful military activities. 606 $aPlanets$xExploration 606 $aAstronautics and state 606 $aAstronautics$xInternational cooperation 606 $aSpace law 606 $aSpace security 607 $aOuter space$xExploration 615 0$aPlanets$xExploration. 615 0$aAstronautics and state. 615 0$aAstronautics$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aSpace law. 615 0$aSpace security. 676 $a629.4/1 700 $aMoltz$b James Clay$01572605 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792286603321 996 $aCrowded orbits$93851813 997 $aUNINA
