Space Defense - overview

An analysis should be conducted on the global implications of building a space defense system. Further intelligence should be collected about other countries’ reaction to space defense including launching an international space arms race. Particular emphasis should be placed on Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran – countries without favorable relations with the United States and with potential or current space technology. Intelligence should also be gathered to realize how Europe (among other countries) are implementing their technology in their space defense system.
