The discussion highlighted key issues at this complex intersection for both domains and addressed policy discourse on the future of applicability for space situational awareness, security, on-orbit servicing, and the possibility of space neutrality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>They provided insight to the post-Cold War space environment and how dual-use has evolved from arms control non-proliferation to an opportunity to cultivate technology for multipurpose systems. It was an encouraging perspective on exploring commonalities and synergies amongst military and non-military stakeholders. The conversation inspires much consideration about how space actors are diversifying use of the same systems and how this is altering the regulatory approach.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-22049-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos\/Spacecafe_Regina_Marc_062020.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos\/Spacecafe_Regina_Marc_062020.mp4\">https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos\/Spacecafe_Regina_Marc_062020.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>** <strong>Christopher Newman &#8211; Environmental Protection In Space Law<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6eQq4wjFwJpPgkKJ9pq-IA\/videos\">Cold Star Project S02E43<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Dr. Christopher Newman is Professor of Space Law and Policy at Northumbria University.
