SUMMARY:Lost Without Translation: Identifying Gaps in U.S. Perceptions of the Chinese Commercial Space Sector
DESCRIPTION:Secure World Foundation and Caelus Foundation will be releasing a paper entitled “Lost Without Translation: Identifying Gaps in U.S. Perceptions of the Chinese Commercial Space Sector.” This whitepaper explores current perspectives that U.S. commercial space stakeholders have on the emerging Chinese commercial space sector and identifies significant questions and gaps in information that these stakeholders have. Via interviews with private sector professionals across the space industry in the U.S.\, this study provides a glimpse into current perceptions\, concerns\, and questions about the potential impacts of China’s space activities on their business and investment realities. Common interviewee perspectives are compared to an investigation of Chinese commercial space dynamics in order to identify areas of alignment or misalignment. These findings illuminate significant areas where further research would improve understanding and better enable strategic decision-makers. \nDuring this webinar the report’s authors will discuss the key findings of the paper; and a panel of expert guests will present their reactions and impressions of the findings.

SUMMARY:Seeing Space Security: The role of space situational awareness for verification of future space arms control
DESCRIPTION:Growing international concerns about the weaponization of outer space\, and the greater potential for future armed conflict there\, is reigniting interest in space arms control. One of the biggest challenges for the development of meaningful arms control for outer space is how such agreements could be verified. Some space arms control initiatives have focused on banning specific types of space objects\, which critics have argued are difficult to verify. However\, another approach is on arms-control measures focusing on specific actions that could be verified using space situational awareness (SSA) capabilities some States and non-governmental organizations are already developing. \nThis two-hour discussion hosted by Secure World Foundation (SWF) and the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) will examine the potential for using SSA to verify future space arms control agreements. It will bring together experts from commercial\, academic\, and intergovernmental organizations to discuss current and emerging SSA capabilities as well as their limitations and lessons learned from other domains with existing verification regimes. \nAgenda  \n10:00 – Opening – Dr. Renata Dwan\, UNIDIR \n10:05 – What can we see? A technical analysis of current SSA capabilities \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Dan Ceperley\, LeoLabs\nDr. Doug Hendrix\, ExoAnalytic Solutions\nDr. Moriba Jah\, University of Texas\, Austin\nDr. Regina Peldszus\, German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy\n\nModerator:  Ms. Victoria Samson\, SWF \n11:00 – What can we do? Lessons and ideas from verification regimes \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Asha Balakrishnan\, Science and Technology Policy Institute\nDr. Gunnar Jeremais\, University of Hamburg\nMr. Larry McFaul\, VERTIC\n\nModerator: Dr. John Borrie\, UNIDIR \n11:50 – Commentator: Dr. Brian Weeden\, SWF \n11:55 – Closing – Dr. Peter Martinez\, SWF \nFor more information\, please visit the UNIDIR event page or contact Washington Office Director Victoria Samson.

SUMMARY:2020 Global Satellite Servicing Forum
DESCRIPTION:SWF and CONFERS are pleased to invite you to attend the 2020 Global Satellite Servicing Forum (GSSF) (https://www.satelliteconfers.org/gssf-2020/)\, being organized by The Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations (CONFERS). SWF is a member of the CONFERS Secretariat. \nOn-orbit satellite servicing (OOS) and maintenance capabilities (including manufacturing and assembly) are emerging as the cornerstone of future commercial and civil space activities. The third annual GSSF is the premier annual event for discussing industry-led operational standards\, technology\, market\, and policy developments in this critical area of space activities. It will be held October 28 and 29\, 2020 from 0900 to 1330 Eastern Daylight Time\, in an entirely virtual format. Some of the topics to be addressed by sessions and speakers include: \n\nResults from recent servicing missions\nGovernment and private sector partnership strategies\nInvestment sector perspectives on on-orbit servicing\nThe business of active debris removal\nSatellite servicing in the roadmap to on-orbit infrastructure\nStandard interfaces to enable satellite servicing\nA Virtual Exhibit Hall of OOS related companies\n\nAnd more to come!For registration\, agenda information\, and sponsorship opportunities\, please visit our website at https://www.satelliteconfers.org/gssf-2020/ \n\n2020 GSSF Titanium SponsorsAstroscaleSpaceLogistics\, LLC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have questions or need further information\, please contact Rick Nobbs\, CONFERS Program Manager at rick.nobbs@ati.org; or Dr. Brian Weeden\, CONFERS Executive Director at bweeden@swfound.org.

SUMMARY:Exploring Insights from Emerging Space Agencies
DESCRIPTION:Why create a national space agency today? Join an expert panel of graduates from the George Washington University’s Space Policy Institute as they share findings from their report entitled “Exploring Insights from Emerging Space Agencies.” This report analyzes the motivations for recently standing up a national civil space agency by conducting a general assessment of newly formed space agencies established between 2014 and 2019; furthermore\, it also does a deep dive into two selected case study nations\, Luxembourg and the United Arab Emirates. \nThis project was completed as part of the George Washington University’s Global Capstone program\, with the support of the Secure World Foundation (SWF)\, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Aerospace Security Project\, the NASA Office of International and Interagency Relations (NASA OIIR)\, and the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). \nThe full report and the Executive Summary will be published on the CSIS Aerospace Security website in the near future. Registered participants will be able to submit questions during the webinar to the speakers for a moderated discussion. \nModerator: Victoria Samson\, Washington Office Director\, SWF \nSpeakers: \n\n\nRenata Knittel Kommel\, George Washington University’s Space Policy Institute \n\n\nAshley Peter\, George Washington University’s Space Policy Institute \n\n\nLuc Riesbeck\, George Washington University’s Space Policy Institute \n\n\nFor more information\, please contact SWF Washington Office Director Victoria Samson.
