This capability to maneuver close to another object could be used for inspection of space assets, or potentially the clearing of orbits of space debris. But they could be used for nefarious purposes, including interception of signals or the physical damaging of other spacecraft,” said Juliana Suess, a research fellow for space security at London-based defense think tank the Royal United Services Institute, or RUSI.

With war shifting to space, the MoD and Space Command must look to secure its assets like Skynet 6 in the new domain. However, these British government institutions must shift their doctrine to account for space as a domain rather than a terrestrial enabler. This is an assessment put forward in a report released from a research fellow in space security, Juliana Suess, with the British think tank, the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). “I think quite often there’s this misconception that space is a sort of luxury add-on that we can afford once everything else is in order,” Suess told Global Defence Technology not long after the report was published. “That’s not the case. Space is the baseline"

"I don't think Russia has many other choices," Juliana Suess, a fellow for space security at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank, told RFE/RL. "Russia has a lot of legacy and expertise, but that's all very much behind it. When it comes to space, Russia looks more like the junior partner in the China-Russia relationship."
