A Close Encounter in Space: What Is Russia Planning? | Space Strategic Dialogue

Russia’s latest moves in space are raising concerns about a potential threat to a U.S.-registered commercial satellite supporting Ukraine. Commercial tracking data indicate that Russia’s Cosmos 2612 has conducted unusual maneuvers that could bring it very close to the satellite, operated by ICEYE. What might Moscow be planning, and how should the United States and Europe respond?
Please join the CSIS Aerospace Security Project for a virtual discussion featuring Greg Gillinger, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Development at Integrity ISR, and Clayton Swope, Deputy Director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project. The conversation, moderated by Kari Bingen, Director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project, will explore what the tracking data reveal, the potential risks to the ICEYE satellite, and options for deterring and responding to hostile actions in space.
The Strategic Space Dialogue is made possible by the generous support of LeoLabs.
