Abstract

This paper will elaborate the contestation of power between the U.S. and Russia in attempt to control outer space. The outer space become a new arena of contestation of the two super power states in world politics. Both the U.S. and Russia deploy hegemony through the development of advanced technology. When ideological aspect has decreased in international relations, outer space technology become the new instrument to control the world. By using astropolitik approach, this paper argue that contestation of the two states are still going in the agreement of International Space Station (ISS) P project, and shows that there is contradiction of the ISS. In one side, the U.S. and Russia put humanity as the main purpose of ISS. But recently, ISS also used as new locus of power and militarization of space.
