This event will feature the launch of a paper series, produced in partnership with Thales, which explores how the United States can better work with its allies and partners to achieve common security, commercial, and exploration objectives in outer space.
Maintaining the US and allied technological edge on Earth increasingly rests on these nations’ ability to operate effectively in the space domain. As the space landscape transforms—driven by commercial and dual-use developments, lower costs of entry, and thus a growth in spacefaring entities—the United States ought to consider how allied and partner governments and industries can augment its own space architecture. While initiatives like the Artemis program bring likeminded nations together for capability development, US and allied collaboration is limited due to strict regulations and overclassification, as well as a limited understanding of the niche areas where allies and partners can complement US activities, ranging from space launch and satellite imagery to weather monitoring and space debris mitigation. How can the United States bring its allies and partners into the fold to achieve key goals in the space domain?
