ASAT, an anti-satellite weapon, threatens to endanger the peaceful exploration of space due to unwanted space debris unless international laws come to our rescue. However, the Outer Space Treaty, often hailed as \u201cThe Magna Carta of International Space Law,\u201d does not define the term &#8220;outer space&#8221; comprehensively. Consequently, the jurisdiction over ASATs remains ambiguous; it is unclear whether any experiment aimed from the ground to disrupt a satellite orbiting Earth falls under terrestrial boundaries or outer space regulations.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1077\" data-start=\"902\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is high time that we consider negotiating a new outer space disarmament pact to prevent the use of ASATs and to broaden the scope of existing laws for outer space security.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1112\" data-start=\"1079\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong data-end=\"1112\" data-start=\"1079\"><u>METHODOLOGY OF INTERPRETATION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1340\" data-start=\"1114\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let us open the curtains of international law concerning the pursuit of outer space safety.
