Abstract: The first emergence of the concept of space security came to the fore with the beginning of access to space. As the competition between the USA and the USSR spread to space, space formed the background of ideological conflict. States’ demonstration of power in space has raised concerns about space security. However, it is not only the power struggle between states that threatens security in space. Rising satellite debris in Earth orbit is an issue that threatens space security. In addition, the increase in space weapons, especially anti-satellite weapons, and put to the test in space are another reason that endangers space security. As can be understood from here, space is becoming increasingly unsecure. This study examines the dynamics behind the issue of space security by seeking answers to the questions of what the threats underlying the space security discourse are, to whom these threats are directed, and which actor(s) offers solutions to these threats.
