“…It is necessary for defence/military satellites to provide services and to continue to communicate 24/7 under threats. Solin [45] discusses the LEO satellite vulnerabilities and warns that "…one 20 kT nuclear weapon exploded at the right altitude above the Earth, would cause all unhardened LEO satellites to die in hours, days, or weeks. Less appreciated is that LOS X-rays and neutrons from a high-altitude nuclear burst, can also damage or upset unhardened GEO satellites" [45].…”

Space and security domains are strongly related with each other. Nowadays, space is an indispensable part of security and defence policy, and it is increasingly becoming a critical infrastructure for strategic Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. However, space is vulnerable itself to the new space threats. This study reviews the current and near future space role in Turkey's security and defence policy and aims to address the threats against space based capabilities. To provide security from space, space based systems shall themselves need to be secure in space to warrant the security. The concept of security from space starts with space security, in other words the security in space. This paper also highlights the emerging technological opportunities for these space threats to be secure in space in order to provide the security from space. According to the relevant taxonomy, a categorized opportunity proposal for more robust and resilient space/satellite projects' architecture is proposed for Turkey. 1.
