Abstract
Indeed, the domain of space infrastructure systems has evolved from a benign environment, with a relatively small number of satellites scattered over vast distances, to an increasingly complex, crowded, and hostile ‘system-of-systems’. In this chapter, three proposed governance scenarios for the space domain are evaluated efficacy using principles of Complex System Governance. First is a scenario derived from an official document of the United States’ National Academies of the Sciences and Engineering. Second is based on an article from the European Institute for Security Studies. A third option is developed based on assumption of accelerating growth in space commercialization and evolution to an Internet-like environment. The three governance scenarios are evaluated using single utility analysis, Fuzzy Sets-based decision analysis, Evidential Reasoning, the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and Logical Decisions for Windows multi-utility software. The results are discussed along with strengths and weaknesses of the tools.
