International space activities are regulated by seven main documents that had come into effect between the 1963–1974 period. For almost half a century, the world order has been changed, scientific and technological progress has made significant changes in the quality of using the near-Earth space environment. Offensive and defensive space assets have changed also. This article systematizes the means of counterspace capabilities and evaluates the counterspace potential of China, India and Iran on the basis of this systematization.
