EN The political and economic competition exacerbated the conflicts between countries. In this situation, Space security and safety covering two significant issues: secure, safe, and sustainable access to space and mitigation of Space hazards, have become more critical. More and more countries are using or planning to use space for military purposes. In addition, more and more civilian satellites are being used for militaristic purposes. There is also a transition from militarization to weaponization of space. Maintaining the principle of peaceful use of space is increasingly more work. In space, there are highly favourable conditions for conducting reconnaissance, maintaining communications, directing the movement of various objects, and many other activities that are not necessary for securing and supporting the activities of military forces. The result of this state of affairs is the appearance in the space of a vast number of objects, without which it is difficult to imagine the functioning of modern armed forces. A significant problem is the multifunctionality of the tasks performed by various satellites, so many problems are associated with the systematization of space objects. International relations and diplomacy are crucial in providing secure and sustainable access to space.
