- “The UK Military Space Primer: It is Rocket Science, but it’s Not Complicated!” by Air Commodore Stuart Evans, RAF, head of joint doctrine, air and space for the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) think tank, which is part of UK Ministry of Defence, DCDC
- “The New U.S. Space Policy and International Opportunities,” by Brigadier General John Hyten, USAF, director of space acquisition for the Office of the Undersecretary of the (United States) Air Force
- “Developments in the Global Space Economy & Implications for Defense & Security,” by Elliot Pulham, chief executive officer of the Space Foundation
“The United Kingdom is becoming increasingly reliant on space assets and just recently launched a UK Space Agency,” said Pulham. “This lecture provides an opportunity to underscore the importance of space in military operations, both for nations with a long space heritage and for those that are moving rapidly into the space arena.”
The lecture launches the UK Ministry of Defence’s Space Primer, published by the DCDC, and features information from the 2010 U.S. National Space Policy. It also will provide an analysis on the burgeoning global space economy based upon information in the Space Foundation’s flagship publication, The Space Report 2010: The Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity.
Involvement in the lecture further expands the Space Foundation’s international outreach at FIA. Other Space Foundation activities during the internationally acclaimed air show include informal and formal meetings with U.S. and European aerospace leaders attending FIA and an official tour of the FIA grounds during “Space Day” on July 21.
