Summary/Abstract: Space has become in recent decades an important element of national power, namely by the capacity to explore and to control it. In turn, space power is influenced and influences all other components of power; there is a close interdependence between them. Unfortunately not all countries of the world benefit from the advantages of both space exploration capability and space power status. Access to space remains an ideal in less developed countries. From this point of view, it is essential to analyze the space power concept as central to the space dimension of security, by considering psychosocial representation that humans have on space and space power in conjunction with state and non-state actors and their interests in the same area.
