Please join the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Aerospace Security Project and NewSpace Nexus for a discussion on the findings of the 2025 State of the Space Industrial Base report, “Sustaining Space Leadership: Economic Strength and National Security at Speed and Scale,” which reflects input from a diverse range of cross-sector experts and practitioners.
Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project will moderate a conversation with Dr. Diane Howard, formerly director of commercial space policy at the National Space Council and formerly chief counsel for space commerce in the U.S. Department of Commerce; Casey Anglada DeRaad, founder and CEO of NewSpace Nexus and formerly an Air Force Research Laboratory executive; and Rob Perez-Alemany, senior program manager in the Defense Innovation Unit.
The discussion will explore the overall health of the space industrial base, assess the effectiveness of U.S. policies aimed at growing the space economy and harnessing space innovation for national security missions, and offer ideas for supercharging the growth of the U.S. space industry. The panel will explore the importance of delivering innovative space solutions at speed and scale to meet U.S. national security needs.
This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
