Summary/Abstract: The end of World War II in 1945 marked the beginning of the Cold War era in international relations which further led to dramatic changes in the conduct of international affairs and the designation and definition of interstate engagements, including security arrangements. One of the most important security issues of this period was the arms race between the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). This race was further complicated and escalated by the strong ambitions of the two superpowers to take it to the outer space where they made bold claims. The launch of Sputnik-1 into space by the USSR in 1957 was particularly regarded as a turning point in space studies and rivalry.
