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\u2019s return to the final frontier.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Panelists:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Tim Fernholz, Senior Reporter, Quartz<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Sara Seager, Professor of Planetary Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Stan Veuger, Resident Scholar, AEI<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Matthew C.

The term \u201cSocial License to Operate\u201d (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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mXzH1_LhHLw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>See also <a href=\"https:\/\/swfound.org\/news\/all-news\/2021\/02\/swf-staff-discuss-sustainable-management-of-earth-orbit-and-lunar-mining-at-commons-in-space-virtual-conference\">SWF Staff Discuss Sustainable Management of Earth Orbit and Lunar Mining at Commons in Space Virtual Conference | Secure World<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>** <strong>Moving towards space traffic coordination and management<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCmfOUsrDTBcVCFAMCAPnVoA\">IASC COMMONS &#8211; YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Special Topic Webinar<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Moderator: Brian Weeden, Secure World Foundation &#8211; USA<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Panelists:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Dan Oltrogge, Center for Space Standards, AGI &#8211; USA<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Sujai Shivakumar, National Academy of Public Administration &#8211; USA<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Quentin Verspieren, University of Tokyo &#8211; Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bRc1B-0xBVM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/513972028\"><strong>E53 &#8211; Space Security\/SSA &#8211; A View From Europe<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/spacepolicy\" target=\"_d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aerospace Corp Space Policy (Vimeo) &#8211; Center for Space Policy &amp; Strategy (CSPS)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/513972028?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>**\u00a0 Y<strong>an Song &#8211; How Can We Solve the Challenge of Operationalizing Cultural Development?<\/strong> &#8211; CSP S04E04 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6eQq4wjFwJpPgkKJ9pq-IA\/videos\" target=\"_d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cold Star Technologies &#8211; YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">Systems Thinking thought leader and Fortune 500 executive Yan Song is our guest on this first episode of a series on the Cold Star Project.
