Summary/Abstract: While the spacefaring nations benefit from the blessings of space, they also encounter many security problems in the increasingly crowded space environment. These security problems threaten the sustainability of operations in space. Space security threats concern all people and institutions that have space-based services, as well as spacefaring nations. Space security problems must be discussed, examined, and resolved globally by all space stakeholders in this direction. The approaches of the spacefaring nations to the space security problems are interpreted from the national space policies and strategies. National space policies of countries are shaped in line with their national interests. National space policies also affect the discussions on space security problems in the international stage and prevent the achievement of global space security solutions. For these reasons, the perspectives of the spacefaring nations on space security issues will be examined and what needs to be done to ensure space security and maintain space security will be discussed.
