Evidence: Alphabetical
- International law favors "hedging" approach for defending space assets
- Idealist view of space weapons is dangerously optimistic about human nature
- India chose path of self-reliance for its space program
- Increasing demands for environmental monitoring and disaster relief will motivate international cooperation
- Iran lacks realistic ASAT capability but U.S. could counter worst-case scenario if they tried
- If an attacker can collide two satellites it could create a cascade of space debris damaging many other satellites
- International community seems ready to accept limits on anti-satellite testing to prevent space debris
- International Monitoring System data gives U.S. more strategic advantage over Russia
- India actively pursuing anti-satellite weapons capability
- International prohibition against anti-satellite weapons tests would be ideal for three reasons
- India and Japan's regional satnav systems are tied technologically and politically to GPS
- Increasing pace and flow of information means U.S. export control policies may be holding U.S technology back more than protecting its lead
- India has resisted EU Code of Conduct because they weren't involved in development process
- International space surveillance center would improve ability of states to detect states that are violating rules
- Integrating existing space surveillance resources would augment effectiveness at considerable cost savings
- Iran engages in more intentional interference with U.S. space assets than any other country
- International space debris certification standards could be modeled off of existing standards for international aviation
- Inevitability argument for space weaponization should not be used as an excuse to not act to prevent space warfare
- ICOC is preferable to binding agreements because it would preserve U.S. national security flexibility in outer space
- Increasing military reliance on space assets makes them bigger targets for adversaries
- Improving space situational awareness is critical to ensure attackers are aware that they will not escape attribution
- Iran's present counterspace capabilities pose very little military threat
- international spacefaring community should collaborate on a shared space surveillance network
- Iran has been steadily increasing its counterspace capabilities to be able to thwart enemy C3I space assets
- IADC has succeeded where other norm-setting agreements have failed because it excluded a focus on military uses of space
