| Summary/Abstract |
On 27 October 2005, the first Iranian satellite-Sinah-1-was launched. The satellite failed soon after launch, but it represented a significant technological step by the Islamic Republic, and was also a statement of intent on behalf of Iranian space ambitions. Current and projected Iranian space capabilities are highly dependent upon foreign technologies and expertise, but the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile programmes offer a glimpse of how Iran's space programme may yet develop. This essay provides an overview of Iranian space capabilities, and places it within contemporary Iranian domestic and strategic contexts. It also offers an insight into how Iran's space programme is organized, and lastly, offers a view on how best the United States might influence Iran's space programme.

| Summary/Abstract |
Not only will space become an even more important domain of military capability in the future, it will be an increasingly crowded arena. Britain's space strategy has lagged behind those of its allies, with the UK reliant on foreign capability for mission-critical tasks such as satellite imagery and positioning. Despite the era of budget austerity, John B Sheldon argues that the time has come for a thorough rethink of British priorities in space.

| Summary/Abstract |
Attempts to address the transatlantic capabilities gap in military space is complicated by the rivalry between NATO and the European Union's ambition to undertake a greater role in European security, as well as being held hostage by the extent and nature of the EU's role in this crucial policy area. In light of this, transatlantic military space cooperation is likely to be modest and on a bilateral basis between Washington and the various European capitals, though NATO may yet play a larger role in this area.
