Special guest from DHS, John Felker, will discuss how to keep the space enterprise secure from cyber attacks. He will be joined by Aerospace experts, Lori Gordon and Ryan Speelman, in this episode. You don’t want to miss it!

What led to NASA’s commercial crew program? How do you foresee the non-NASA human spaceflight market evolving? Jamie Morin and former NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden will debate the answers. Watch it live!

Significant work remains in characterizing new orbital environments, monitoring their evolving use, and determining appropriate sustainability practices. What can be done to advance cislunar stewardship?

The space business is undergoing a disruptive transformation with investments supporting both satellite and launch vehicle production in larger numbers than previously seen. Want to find out how it compares to methodologies employed for mass production of other complex systems (e.g., airplanes, automobiles, etc.)? Find out in this episode where we will discuss mass production approaches and how they might be used for large satellite constellations and their effects on national security space.

A likely surge in satellites launched into space over the next decade means the risk of collisions in space will rise along with risks to the sustainability of the space environment from debris. How can these risks be reduced and made manageable?

Colleen Stover talks to astronaut Larry DeLucas about inspiring the next generation of space explorers.

Everyone relies on space, yet few understand how much. This talk will help illustrate how our modern world relies on space sector by sector.

Japan’s recent announcement that it is establishing its own military space unit has put its national security space efforts under the spotlight. What role will Japan play in the space domain?

We know working from home can be isolating, stressful and potentially boring. We are here to help keep you connected to the latest in the space policy community! The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy and Strategy is offering a series of online webcasts and virtual meetings as an opportunity to stay engaged with the larger space policy community. Join us!

We have changed the format slightly- we are prerecording the shows, but posting the episode at 1pm ET.  Please visit: http://www.tchat.io/rooms/thespacepolicyshow to engage with the speakers and ask questions. You can also ask questions on the Vimeo platform if you don’t have a Twitter account.

The FCC commissioners will vote on whether to adopt new space debris rules on April 23, 2020. The rules have some controversial elements that have triggered both industry and members of Congress to request a delay. After the vote, there will be a public panel discussion on the rules, with Aerospace's Marlon Sorge participating.

This is a critical moment for the United States in space. Potential adversaries are developing and fielding anti-satellite weapons and more effective military satellites, threatening U.S. security and interests. How can we transform our national security space enterprise into an architecture that can continuously outpace the adversary threat?

Visionaries of the 1950s-70s inspired us with their proposals for a better tomorrow thanks to space exploration and development. We’re now living in the timeframe they envisioned. This presentation highlights prominent voices from that golden age of space futurism and compares their ideas with today’s reality. There are lessons to be learned for our own efforts in long-term strategic planning.
