Space Security: Norms, Resiliency, and Protection

Space security is an increasingly important issue, and one that has taken on new meaning in recent years with increased concerns about protecting space capabilities from both intentional and environmental threats.  On April 14, 2016, the Secure World Foundation hosted an invite-only luncheon panel discussion at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as part of the 32nd Annual Space Symposium, to discuss the current state of space security using the lens of existing norms of behavior, concerns about the resiliency of space assets, and changing attitudes about space protection.  For further information and speaker presentations, please visit the <a href= "http://swfound.org/events/2016/space-security-norms-resiliency-and-protection"> event page on the SWF website.
