The Space Policy Show Series: Space Safety Through a Global Lens

Space safety might start and finish with human safety, but safety is integral to the entire value chain – from launch to operations to reentry.  Space safety is mostly about human actions that can help ensure a usable, thriving space environment for the future, but it's also about planning for resiliency when things go wrong from solar flares to cyber threats.

A culture of safety grows from understanding that only together can we move forward in the exploration and business of space, and that safety needs to come from all sectors and from all space actors.

This 6-part series covers a range of foundational topics on issues related to space safety from an international perspective. The series runs Spring 2024.
