Armenia has established a structured framework for space governance through national legislation and institutional development. The country became party to all five UN outer space treaties, the Outer Space Treaty, Rescue Agreement, Liability Convention, Registration Convention, and Moon Agreement, through accession in 2018.

Armenia's space activities are overseen by the Ministry of High-Tech Industry, which serves as the authorized body for space governance, and the Armenia Aerospace Agency. The country's legal framework includes the Law on Space Activities, which outlines principles such as international responsibility, security, and environmental protection in space activities.

Key contemporary positions of the Russian Federation include its political commitment not to be the first to place weapons in outer space.
