Sustainability & Security of Space Infrastructure

Space capabilities and data are increasingly important to geointelligence and other applications critical to IndoPacific security. However, continued provision of those space capabilities is at risk due to multiple space sustainability threats, including space debris and counterspace capabilities. This session will discuss why space sustainability and security matters, what the major threats to sustainability and security are, and how the geointelligence community can get involved in reducing the risk to make space safer, more predictable, and stable for all.

All times in India Standard Time.
