About the product
A new book which will be of concern and value to all those who wish to keep abreast of the current evolution in satellite technology and the challenge it presents. Never easy to define, the distinction between civil and military activity in outer space has become even more difficult to determine in the light of the unexpected and unprecedented political changes that have taken place in the past five years. As a contribution towards further understanding of dual use in outer space, this outstanding book contains papers by some 20 experts in which they discuss items such as the technologies owned by both established and emerging space-competent States, and the economic implications of satellite manufacturing and dual usage.
