This review analyzes technical challenges and technologies for intercepting missiles in space, highlighting key implications.
This paper reviews the technical issues underlying space-based boost-phase missile defense and examines the current technology available for space-based interceptors and the characteristics of the missiles such a system would face. It then analyzes a particular space-based missile defense system that has been proposed to intercept in boost, ascent, and midcourse phases to illustrate the details of such an analysis and the constraints imposed on such systems by the physics of operating in space.
