Space weapon

Common card · No. 203881

Space weapons are weapons used in space warfare. They include weapons that can attack space systems in orbit (for example, anti-satellite weapons), attack targets on the earth from space or disable missiles travelling through space. In the course of the militarisation of space, such weapons were developed mainly by the contesting superpowers during the Cold War, and some have already been deployed in space. Space weapons are also a central theme in military science fiction and sci-fi video games.
