Cosmos 2533, also known as Sput-nuke, represents a growing threat from Russia and China in the realm of space security. The development of anti-satellite weapons by China and the deployment of nuclear payloads by Russia could jeopardize many of the global space operations that rely on comprehensive satellite networks. The existing frameworks, such as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, seem inadequate given the current geopolitical climate. The U.S. is called to initiate a military coalition, termed the Artemis Alliance, to respond effectively to these evolving threats, particularly from Beijing's expansive space initiative.
The principles of a free, open, and peaceful space are enshrined in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which all major space powers have ratified.
The refusal of Russia and China to get on board...is a sure sign as any that a new approach is needed.
China's space ambitions are hegemonic and virtually limitless...to explore the vast cosmos, develop the space industry, and build China into a space power.
The U.S. is urged to lead a new military alliance-an Artemis Alliance, or Allied Space Force-to counteract threats in space.
