About this Event
The Threat Status Golden Age of Space event will convene senior military leaders, members of Congress, acquisition officials, and key space and defense industrial base stakeholders to examine how the U.S. can maintain its edge in an increasingly contested space domain. As China and Russia expand their capabilities and a new commercial and dual-use space economy takes shape, the event will focus on the policy, technology, acquisition, and budget decisions needed to strengthen America’s leadership in space with greater speed, scale, and capability.
