The authorconsiders the possibility of ensuring Poland's independence and of the Polish ArmedForces playing a significant role in building NATO's "fifth operational domain." To thisend, 10 selected satellite programs and projects related to defense and security in spaceare analyzed. The author concludes that, if successfully implemented, Poland's defensepotential will be significantly strengthened; however, these efforts will not guaranteePoland's independence.
