520 _aThe end of the space-shuttle program and thefinancial crisis have weakened the American space policy, which, from now on, will be relying on Russian rockets for its human spaceflight program. This situation is further exacerbated by the fact that emerging countries enabled by their economic growth, also challenge the traditional space hierarchy. The article aims to analyse the new geopolitical trends currently shaping the international space landscape. A detailed look at the peculiarities of the space strategies of the United States, China, India, Iran and Brazil is taken in order to establish the likeliness of a possible return to a new space race, 50 years after thefirst manoperated flight with Youri Gagarine and the early phases of the sovietera space competition.
