One of the gravest threats to the security of outer #space is the testing of direct-ascent anti-satellite missiles by destroying satellites in orbit. This is why Germany committed as one of the first countries worldwide not to conduct such tests. More: diplo.de/2551852

For 40 years 🇨🇦 has advocated for a halt to anti-satellite (ASAT) tests. Today we joined the US pledge not to conduct destructive ASAT missile testing. We encourage all states to join so that together we can make this a global norm. 🇺🇳 #SpaceThreatsOEWG
