Journal: Systems
Year: 2025

In the 21st century, the space system has experienced a substantial shift from a simple unipolar to a new and more complex structure. This transition is the result of the emergence of new space powers and global power dynamics. The central hypothesis of this research work is that the space system is undergoing an intersystem transition from a unipolar, U.S.-dominant, post-Cold War space system to a new and more complex structure that includes new space powers and a redistribution and rebalancing
