** In Conversation with the UK’s Leading Space Commanders – War Studies KCL

The Freeman Air and Space Institute, King’s College London, in partnership with Airbus, were delighted to host the first ever in conversation event between the UK’s leading space commanders.

It was a unique first opportunity to hear from Air Vice-Marshal Paul Godfrey, the inaugural commander of the newly established Space Command, launching on 1 April 2021, as he discussed with Air Vice-Marshal Harvey Smyth, Ministry of Defence Director Space, their vision for the future of UK military in space.

A panel of experts on space from industry, politics, the military and research, put their questions to the two commanders.

** SCFV6 The Fate of the Outer Space Treaty – Space Court Foundation – YouTube

After nearly 60 years, the Outer Space Treaty continues to hold one of the only explicit arms-control provisions for space in international law: Article IV prohibits the placement in orbit of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction.

Today, however, there is a growing probability that conflict will emerge in space with conventional weapons, potentially in destructive or catastrophic ways. Will the Outer Space Treaty be sufficient to prevent conflict in space? Will the absence of greater prohibitions lead to the placement of conventional weapons in orbit? What paths are available to prevent the degradation of space through war?

Moderator and panelists:

- Daniel Porras , Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications at the Secure World Foundation, Non-resident Fellow at the UN Institute for Disarmament Research
- Paul Meyer, Canadian Ambassador and Permanent Representative (retired) to the United Nations and to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva , International Security and Adjunct Professor of International Studies at Simon Fraser University
- Andrei Belousov, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations Office at Geneva

** To the moon, Mars, and beyond: Space exploration and public policy | American Enterprise Institute – AEI

For decades, a prevailing sentiment in America has been that the money spent on the space race would be better spent on domestic problems. As a result, the US space program has not fulfilled its potential for several decades. But this perspective is shortsighted; many technologies we take for granted came from midcentury investments in the space program, and there is no telling what innovations we forego by failing to support space exploration today. Fortunately, private actors have begun revitalizing the US space program, and the public sphere has also shown a renewed interest. This panel discusses why America should renew its commitment to exploring space and the actions policymakers and private actors should take to facilitate America’s return to the final frontier.

Panelists:
Tim Fernholz, Senior Reporter, Quartz
Sara Seager, Professor of Planetary Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

** Constellations, a New Space and Satellite Innovation Podcast: 96 – Ground- and Space-based Telescopes, Space Factories and the New Space Economy – – Constellations Podcast

Earth Observation, Space Situational Awareness and Contested/Congested Space are terms increasingly heard in satellite and space media, brought about, in part, by the growing accessibility and democratization of the space industry. Our guest, Gino Bucciol – Co-founder and Chief Development Officer at Officina Stellare, a company based in Italy active in the design and production of telescopes, optomechanical, and aerospace instrumentation for ground and space-based applications will touch on each of these.

Listen as Gino discusses the difference between ground-based and space-based telescopes; the former best suited for research, astronomy and defense applications like weapon tracking; while the latter is most often used for debris tracking, satellite collision avoidance, or laser communication. Gino further discusses why telescopes are perfect to provide information on an object’s angular position, thanks to their extremely high resolution, while radar is perfect to obtain a precise measurement of the object’s distance.

Gino attributes launch reduction costs and availability of space compliant technologies as key contributors to the creation of the “New Space Economy” where private companies can now do business in space.

** What can we expect from the next phase of space innovation? #47 – The Brave | Acast

With the increasing visibility of private space companies, the safe arrival of the Perseverance rover on Mars, and renewed interest in space exploration, it seems like space is now solidly back in the public imagination.

We traditionally associate space innovation with the US, China and Russia, but the UK is at the forefront of the new space economy, with 5.1% share of the global space market and plans to capture 10% by 2030.

In this episode I speak to Melissa Thorpe, Interim Head of Spaceport Cornwall, about the next phase of space innovation, how horizontal launch capabilities are being built here in the UK, and the economic and technological opportunities this will provide.

(Spaceport Cornwall is the horizontal space launch site at Cornwall Airport Newquay, in South West England. Spaceport Cornwall is a partnership between Cornwall Council, commercial launch operator Virgin Orbit and Goonhilly Earth Station. The consortium will deliver small satellite launch into lower Earth Orbit, for the first time ever from the UK by 2022.)

** Social License to Operate for Lunar Resources Activities – IASC COMMONS – YouTube

Special Topic Webinar
Moderator: Antonino Salmeri, Space Generation Advisory Council – Luxembourg
Panelists:
Ian Christensen, Secure World Foundation – USA
Ruvimbo Samanga, Open Lunar Foundation – Zimbabwe

The proposed live panel would explore the usefulness of the “social license to operate” concept for managing space resource activities, with a special focus on the Moon. The term “Social License to Operate” (SLO) indicates a series of measures agreed between a mining company and the community where it operates with the goal of establishing guidelines for fair and sustainable extraction activities.

The applicability of SLO within the context of space resources activities has been firstly introduced by the Socio-Economic Panel of The Hague International Space Resources Governance Working Group. This work suggested that considering the SLO for space resources might provide a conceptual framework through which affected sociocultural, heritage and environmental factors might be considered in governance. Since then, the topic has been further researched by the Space Exploration Project Group of Space Generation Advisory Council, as well as by the Open Lunar Foundation. At the latest International Astronautical Congress, the SEPG presented a first follow-up research investigating the development of a Lunar SLO, covering the relevant rationale, as well as proposed objectives and governance mechanisms.

Based on these findings, the panel will discuss the merits and drawbacks of developing a Lunar SLO, as well as suitable models for its concrete application. The future development of a Lunar SLO is one that will encompass multi-level, multi-stakeholder initiatives, towards sustainable resource utilization. More so than that, a balancing of interests between community and operators is required. To this end, the diverse pool of proposed panelists will promote a cross-disciplinary, intergenerational, and multinational dialogue with the goal of representing the various viewpoints of the space community.

** Moving towards space traffic coordination and management – IASC COMMONS – YouTube

Special Topic Webinar
Moderator: Brian Weeden, Secure World Foundation – USA
Panelists:
Dan Oltrogge, Center for Space Standards, AGI – USA
Sujai Shivakumar, National Academy of Public Administration – USA
Quentin Verspieren, University of Tokyo – Japan

For much of the last sixty years of space activities, a few national militaries have developed capabilities to track and monitor objects and activities in orbit around the Earth. The recent growth in commercial, civil, and international space activities and an overall number of satellites has stretched those current capabilities to their breaking point and highlighted gaps in how countries provide authorization and oversight of rapidly expanding space activities. Space Traffic Coordination and Management has been debated in various forms for nearly as long but has achieved new salience in recent years, particularly in the United States. The panel will describe current initiatives towards a polycentric framework for governance that brings together concerned agencies of the U.S. government, contributions from commercial actors, and other space nations and international actors.
