The main goals of the article are to describe space situational awareness (SSA) for safety and security purposes and to place SSA in the context of national and regional security law and policy. Building national or regional SSA systems should guarantee the security of people and infrastructure in outer space and on Earth from threats from space. Military aspects are also considered in the SSA system, because they reflect sensitive and fundamental security and defence issues. The SSA system is crucial for human security, and it is the responsibility of the states to understand the need to implement it correctly into national policy and law. SSA and its systems will evolve, building on already existing state activities and taking into account international cooperation frameworks. The practical example of the international use of SSA is the creation of the EU Consortium (with Poland on board), which will require internal and external cooperation from their member states for security purposes.

本文的主要目标是描述出于安全和保障目的的空间态势感知（SSA），并将SSA置于国家和地区安全法律和政策的范围内。建立国家或区域SSA系统应保证外层空间和地球上的人员和基础设施的安全，免受来自太空的威胁。SSA系统中还考虑了军事方面，因为它们反映了敏感和基本的安全与防御问题。SSA系统对于人类安全至关重要，各国有责任了解将其正确实施为国家政策和法律的必要性。SSA及其系统将在已经存在的国家活动的基础上发展，并考虑到国际合作框架。
