Abstract This chapter provides the basics of space as a critical infrastructure including elements of key resources and assets. Critical space infrastructure (CSI) is presented as a set of interdependent system-of-systems encompassing workforce, environment, facilities and multidirectional interactions essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security , economic or social well-being of people, whose destruction or disruption would have a significant impact in a given state. Topics of orbits are also discussed in the context of critical infrastructures.
