International Competition in Space. Political and Technological Challenges in the 21st Century

Summary/Abstract: Technological progress in the field of space exploration implies for the future a diversity of challenges determined mainly by the new type of cosmic power expressed through specific capabilities and resources. Although, at this time we are at the level of exploration, the development of technology involves the realization of a space infrastructure on the basis of which exploitation in the space field is increasingly possible. All the concerns, at the level of research and development of space technology, including debates on legal issues, point out that space mining is increasingly possible and with certainly that changes will occur in the forms of expression of national power at state level.
