As an international interdisciplinary journal, Space Policy is unique in applying perspectives and methods from multiple disciplines to a wide range of issues related to space activities. This multidimensional analysis not only covers the technical aspects of space exploration and utilization, but also delves deeper into the impact of space activities on the global political landscape, economic development, industrial strategy, legal framework, cultural identity, and social structure.This journal provides a platform for scholars, policy makers, industry experts, and the public interested in space policy to exchange ideas and research results. It encourages analyzing space competition and cooperation from an international relations perspective, evaluating the economic impact and market potential of the space industry from an economic perspective, examining the historical process and lessons of space exploration from a historical perspective, and exploring technological development and innovation from an aerospace research perspective. Special attention is also paid to space security and strategic issues, including space weaponization, space debris, space traffic management, and international governance in the space domain. These issues are crucial for maintaining the sustainability of the space environment and ensuring global security.
