In September 2023, SIPRI published a report that analyses the critical interplay between space systems, military operations and the potential for nuclear escalation. The report explores the multiple civilian and military uses of space systems, including missions related to nuclear deterrence.

The findings of the report lay the groundwork for a deeper analysis of potential escalation pathways and the formulation of risk-reduction measures for policymakers. Read the report here: https://www.sipri.org/publications/20...
