The Center for Strategic and International Studies will be hosting a two-session event to highlight and amplify awareness of the implications of emerging space technologies, particularly those provided by smaller space systems. These discussions will examine implications from the perspective of both changes in the way space missions are executed and in the way that transportation to space is provided.


The first panel will focus on implications of small satellites for key missions, including dual-use military and commercial missions, providing advantages in resiliency, agility, deterrence, and coverage. Following a brief coffee break, the second panel will focus on implications of the growing small satellite market for the space launch industry.

This event is generously sponsored by Stratolaunch Systems.
