Abstract

A complex network of actors with diverse interests and varying capacities characterizes Geopolitics in contemporary space. Unlike the space race of the 20th century, a multipolar scenario is currently observed with the active participation of the United States, Europe, Russia, China, India, Japan, and other actors. However, International Space Law has historically had characteristics of being reactive to changes, and not proactive in its regulation. Thus, this article analyses the current trends in space geopolitics and their implications for the Law.
