Space Commerce, Governance, and Security Discussed at the 2018 UNIDIR Space Security Conference

Monday, May 7, 2018

In partnership with the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the Simons Foundation, Secure World sponsored the Institute's latest two-day conference on space security. This year's conference Space Security: The Next Chapter convened experts from around the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities related to new technologies that have great potential, but can also be destabilizing to a security status quo.

SWF Washington Office Director Victoria Samson helped organize the event, gave the welcoming address, and presented on on-orbit servicing to a panel discussion about the growing space economy. SWF Legal Advisor Chris Johnson moderated a panel on the emerging challenges to space security from missile defense to quantum computing. More information is available on the event page here.
