“Space Domain Awareness: Protecting Assets in Orbit and On Earth ”
Monday, March 13
10:45-11:45am (EDT)
Room: 147
About the panel:
There is no air traffic control in space and no legal international framework to manage space traffic. The world currently relies on commercially provided “space situational” or “space domain” awareness data to track satellites, dangerous debris, and military action in space. The responsible use of space requires more than just wanting it. This session will start with explaining the importance of broad collaboration on space awareness and then highlight key advancements in space awareness and tracking capabilities, including advanced AI and machine learning algorithms. Speakers will also address the ramp-up in anti-satellite testing and explain the danger these events create for the entire space economy.
Steve Gizinski, President, Inmarsat Government will serve as a moderator of:
“Enhancing Strategic Satellite Capabilities in the Arctic Region”
Monday, March 13
10:45-11:45am (EDT)
Room: 145 A/B
About the panel:
The United States recently released an updated military strategy for the Arctic region that highlights the need to maintain, refine, and advance “military presence in the Arctic in support of our homeland defense, global military and power projection, and deterrence goals.” This strategy requires enhancing capabilities such as domain awareness, positioning and communications and could lead to an increase in investments in satellite communications and Earth observation technologies. This session will explore how commercial space companies can help meet these Arctic region objectives for both the U.S. and its allied nations.
