Welcome
Space Agenda 2025
Space security, development, and exploration are critical elements of national policy and strategy. Inevitably, the presidential term starting in 2025 will include the need for many high-level decisions on space-related issues. Aerospace has created a series of policy papers—Space Agenda 2025—on issues already at the forefront, or likely to emerge in the next few years.
