The article reveals the latest perspectives of global digital governance for space exploration. Approaches to the formation of a general concept of global digital governance, which is focused on ensuring security, stability and inclusiveness in the digital space, are analysed. It was revealed that the formation of a model of global digital governance is characterized by certain trends that reflect the aspirations of states to ensure national security, technological leadership and economic growth. The key trends in the formation of digital governance have been identified. The importance of global digital governance for space law is determined. The main possibilities of global digital governance for space exploration are highlighted: development of international coordination and cooperation; ensuring security and infrastructure protection; development of technological innovations; expansion of economic opportunities and inclusiveness; development of science and education in the field of space law; guaranteeing environmental responsibility.
