Abstract
Space is once again an arena of global competition and rivalry, but now more actors and technologies affecting the dynamics. Russia remains a relevant, yet relatively declining space power, eager to preserve both status and capabilities. Space domain is seen as both an opportunity and a threat, and both technological and political efforts are being invested to shape the environment so it will be favorable for Russian interests. However, the interests themselves are defined rather vaguely, yet the threats are seen as immediate, thus some overreaction is a real possibility. The actual and possible developments in the area are researched, and some solutions to keep things manageable are proposed. Moreover, relations of space domain with other major topics, including Strategic Offensive Arms, Missile Defense and Cyber/Electronic Warfare are addressed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
