Will the Ukraine conflict spread into space
Episode description
Nearly three decades of close collaboration in space between Russia and the western world seems to be coming to an end.
Dr Mark Hilborne- Lecturer of Defence Studies, King's College London specialises in strategic stability in arms control with an emphasis on outer space.
With increasing tensions over Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Russia has arguably threatened to crash the International Space Station and refuse to launch satellites for western countries.
It seems at the moment that lack of trust that we see between the large space and various nations will certainly have an impact on those kinds of programs.
