All countries are becoming increasingly dependent on space. There are more than 2,600 operational satellites in space playing an ever-growing role in human activities and development, in areas such as weather forecasting, transportation navigation, communication, banking, urban planning, and disaster relief, to name a few. The security of humanity’s space-based assets is therefore vital to the smooth operation of our daily lives on earth. Canada works in close partnership with the US and other space-faring nations to ensure the safe, secure and sustainable use of space. As such, Canada supports international initiatives suggesting a step-by-step approach to address space security.
