Summary/Abstract: Space exploration has become a collaborative endeavour, transcending national boundaries and necessitating the establishment of space diplomacy. This article delves into the significance of space diplomacy in a rapidly evolving cosmos, and explores its definition, historical context, and the role of international treaties. As the cosmos continues to rapidly evolve, space diplomacy becomes ever more vital for managing conflicts, promoting sustainable space activities, and fostering cooperation among spacefaring nations. The article explores the main stages of international cooperation in the space domain, defines the concept of "space diplomacy" and its peculiarities, and outlines key partnerships, challenges, and opportunities for future cooperation in space exploration. The article analyses the impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine on international relations in the space domain and attempts to predict future space alliances influenced by terrestrial policies.
