Space Security Index 2012 is the ninth annual report on developments related to security in outer space, covering the period January to December 2011. It is part of the broader Space Security Index (SSI) project, which aims to improve transparency on space activities and provide a common, comprehensive knowledge base to support the development of national and international policies that contribute to the security and sustainability of outer space.

The Space Security Index is supported by Secure World Foundation, The Simons Foundation, Project Ploughshares, the International Security Research and Outreach Programme (ISROP) of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT), and the Erin J.C. Arsenault Trust Fund at McGill University.
