Space Weapons

Space weapons are technology designed to operate in Earth's orbit or beyond to defend, attack, or neutralize targets in space or on the ground. They include systems like anti-satellite missiles, laser weapons, and directed-energy devices meant to disable or destroy satellites, spacecraft, or other objects. These weapons can threaten communication, navigation, and military operations that rely on space assets. Because space is a strategic domain, there are ongoing international discussions about limits and regulations to prevent conflicts extending into outer space, emphasizing the importance of responsible use and safeguarding global stability.
