Norway's space activities consist of a mix of civilian and military integration. The Norwegian Space Agency (NOSA) contributes to, among other things, social and environmental security. Since the beginning of 2024, NOSA has a civil responsibility for space surveillance and tracking and space traffic management.

Other governing organs relevant for space include the Norwegian Communication Authority (NKOM), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Space Norway, and the Ministry of Defence. The CAA has taken over from the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Fishery as the authority overseeing Norwegian space activities, including maintaining the national registry for space objects and supervision of spaceports and launch vehicles. Additionally, Space Norway, under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, manages and develops strategic and security-critical space infrastructure. Contemporary Norwegian space security policies include the Long-Term Defence Plan 2025-2036 and the Norwegian Airspace Strategy.

Other key contemporary Norwegian positions on space security include its political commitment not to conduct destructive, direct-ascent anti-satellite (ASAT) missile testing.

As a member State to the European Union, Norway adheres to the established space framework by the European Union including key positions including but not limited to the Space Strategy for Europe and the European Union Space Strategy for Security and Defence.
