Abstract:

According to information from the U.S. Congress and administration, Russia is progressing with work on a new nuclear anti-satellite weapon. The revelations are partial and do not explain how this space system with a nuclear warhead or nuclear propulsion would work, however either path if achieved would increase the threat to both military and civilian satellites, and not only of the U.S. Further progress in this area by Russia might also be a violation of international treaties not permitting nuclear weapon tests in outer space.
