A Note on Methodology

Most of the data on the Space Security Portal is compiled from official and publicly available open sources. Exceptions to this are in the event that a State or Organization directly contribute and approve for publishing on the Portal information that is not yet available in the public domain. Every effort has been made to trace information back to the official documentation disseminated by the relevant State or Intergovernmental Organisation. Selection and categorisation of relevant documents is at the discretion of the UNIDIR Space Security Programme and based on detailed analysis by project staff. Further details on how categories are defined can be found in the glossary.
