https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/introouterspacetreaty.html https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/int...: “outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States;” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty#List_of_parties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty#List_of_par... shows it was ratified by 112 countries, including the USA and China. So, countries may not like being spied upon from space, but that “and use”, to me, means they signed up for allowing it. I think that article IV of https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/outerspacetreaty.html https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/out... makes that clear. It doesn’t ban military use of space; it only bans placing weapons of mass destruction there, thus allowing surveillance.
