Abstract

In this article, Russia's space threat assessment and space warfare in the Russia-Ukraine war (Russian invasion of Ukraine) were analyzed and summarized. Considering the probability that commercial satellites will also be potential targets of space warfare, it is suggested that not only military satellites but also commercial satellites develop and apply space technology that can be applied equally to space threats when developing space technology. Necessary space technologies is listed.

본 글에서는 러시아의 우주위협 평가와 러시아-우크라이나 전쟁(러시아의 우크라이나 침공)의 우주전을 분석하고 양상에 대해 정리하였다. 우주전의 양상이 상용위성 또한 잠재적인 공격 대상이 될 개연성을 고려하여 우주기술 개발시 군용위성뿐만 아니라, 상용위성도 우주위협에 대비할 수 있는 우주기술을 개발하고 동일하게 적용해야 함을 제언하고 적용이 필요한 우주기술에 대해 열거하였다.
