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? Tune in as Sam Wilson and Frank Rose address this issue. 

This episode of the Space Policy Show features Dr. James Vedda (Aerospace) and Dr. Henry Hertzfeld of the Elliot School of International Affairs at George Washington University (GWU) engaging in a conversation on space resource utilization. What kind of material and energy resources exist in space? How does international policy change the landscape of access to space resources?

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.

The Space Policy Show is pleased to hear from Former FAA Associate Administrator, George Nield, and host Josef Koller (Aerospace) about the safety and sustainability of space. How can focusing on spaceflight safety prompt the space industry to grow faster? How can regulators create a foundation of safety standards in this "wild west" sector? What role does space traffic management play in spaceflight safety?

The Ground System Architectures Workshop (GSAW) provides a forum for the world’s space-related ground system experts to collaborate with other ground system users, developers, and researchers through tutorials, presentations, working groups, panel discussions, and technical exhibits.

What are the key ingredients of a successful space service? Join Aerospace and other national security leaders for discussion on this topic and more.

How can identifying distinct schools of thought in space allow us to better understand the choices being made today about how to organize and fund space for national security?

Citizen participation in space is now enabled by commercial picosatellite do-it-yourself kits, and associated services and expertise to customize their missions and place payloads into orbit. What's being done with these satellites, and what opportunities and concerns do they pose? 

Join The George Washington University Space Policy Institute and The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy & Strategy for discussions on the issues underlying today’s debates about how to reorganize national security space.

How might agility and the notion of satellites as a commodity be injected in government space production and launch? Join us at Space Florida's and OneWeb's facilities near Cape Canaveral, Florida, for a first-hand experience of production agility followed by keynotes and panel discussions with leaders in the space enterprise who are confronting these choices.  

Unfettered access and freedom to operate in space is of vital interest to the United States. Foreign proliferation of advanced space systems has left space operations congested and contested, and U.S. adversaries are quickly developing ever more lethal anti-satellite capabilities. How can we transform our national security space enterprise to continuously outpace the adversary threat?

This event, featuring Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson and other defense and congressional leaders, will focus on the need for urgent change in defense space, lessons learned for new models of defense space acquisition, and how better acquisition might meet new space systems and on-the-ground special operations needs.

Unfettered access and freedom to operate in space is of vital interest to the United States. This forum will explore a new model for an accelerated pace for satellite constellation refresh added capability to address the evolving threats and shift in the government enterprise technical baseline, acquisition approaches, and requirements management to create an agile architecture that continuously outpaces the adversary threat.

The NSISC Space INFOSEC Technical Information Exchange is intended to facilitate the dissemination of information and to establish personal networking connections across the space INFOSEC community.

Our society is becoming ever more dependent on space — and that dependence comes with the risk of disruption and interference from adversaries, allies, and nature itself. Join the Center for Space Policy and Strategy for panel discussions on the challenges posed by spectrum interference and space weather disruption, and what might be done to overcome those challenges.

This structured workshop will leverage community knowledge to collaborate on comprehensive additive manufacturing guidelines. This activity is developing a comprehensive set of guidance for additive manufacturing use in the space industry.
