Space Security 2009 Now Available

Project Ploughshares and the Secure World Foundation have released the 2009 edition of the Space Security Index.

“Among a roster of findings, Space Security 2009 finds that the number of actors with access to space, including dual_use applications __ those with potential civilian and military uses __ has continued to grow in the past year. By 2008, nine actors had demonstrated independent orbital launch capacity and 49 states had launched civil satellites, either independently or in collaboration with others.”
