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.

Deep Dive: Sustaining Contested Space
n any future conflict, space will be involved – from jamming to cyber-attacks or worse. The orbital environment may not be able to withstand more debris from explosions or derelict objects orbiting uncontrolled. How can we engage remediation with new technologies, mitigation through better designs, and regulating with flexibility to ensure growth in a contested environment?
