Değişen küresel bağlamda Rusya'nın uzay stratejisi

This thesis aims to study the Moscow's perspective in space ventures in the Cold War and following the post-Soviet era by focusing on the change of global context in the goals and priorities of space activities. This thesis also focuses on exploring the trends and technological developments in field of space in other countries and evaluates the course of events in terms of political and economic factors that shapes the Moscow's space strategy. This thesis argues that, Moscow was able to save a significant portion of the space industry assets from the Soviet Union. However, in comparison to United States and China, low funding of space industry in Russia and the lack of both commercial and scientific-technical ambitious tasks leads the erosion of Moscow's space power position in international arena and commercial attractiveness in the growing global space market.
