Abstract The skyrocketing number and diversity of space activities utilizing cyber technologies have both improved our lives while simultaneously creating new threats to international peace and security. Multiple occurrences of malicious cyber activities against space activities (MCASAs) have compelled policymaker attention at international and national levels. The widening range of MCASAs scenarios is challenging jurisdictional assumptions regarding traditionally separate branches of international law. Due to ambiguous terminology and lacunae of current regulatory regimes, MCASAs pose far-reaching legal and policy questions. This paper identifies the salient legal issues created by MCASAs, focusing on specific weaknesses of the current legal regime while also providing regulatory and policy options addressing the growing legal and regulatory dilemmas posed by MCASAs.

    Highlights Analysis of different legal challenges caused by space cyberattacks Several branches of international law and general international law are relevant. Inability of current legal regime due to obscure terminology of key rules. Coordination of international rules and international cooperation are indispensable.
