LIFE FROM SPACE: THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE OPS (Defense One), Mar 31, 2020, virtual, 2:00-3:00 pm ET

Defense One will host a webinar on “Life From Space: The Future of Technology and Space Ops” on March 31, 2020 from 2:00-3:00 pm ET.

Note: it appears that one must join an organization called GovEvents in order to participate. It says it is free. SpacePolicyOnline.com has no information on this organization and makes no recommendation on whether to join or not.

The event’s website describes it this way:

Space isn’t the next frontier: it’s the current one. Governments around the world, alongside private actors, are relying on space and space-based communication–and that reliance will only grow.

This webcast, hosted by Defense One, will explore:

• The role that artificial intelligence will play in realizing the future for space capability
• The role of micro-satellites, AI, and next-generation IT in creating new capabilities in space.
• For instance: how is 3D printing driving down the costs of accessing space?

Investigate how the private sector, particularly non-traditional players and startups, will enable the future of space capability for the United States government, from the Space Command to federal agencies.

From intelligence to operations, join us to learn how public and private entities are expanding to and relying on space today.
