PSSI Fifth Space Security Conference: Evolution of the Counterspace Threat and Strengthening of International Space Partnerships
June 9-11, 2019 | Prague, Czech Republic
On June 9-11, 2019, PSSI Washington and the Prague Security Studies Institute (PSSI) conveyed in Prague for the fifth event in its Space Security Conference series. This year’s gathering, co-organized with the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japanese Prime Minister’s Office Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center (CSICE), and the Secure World Foundation (SWF) is entitled “Evolution of the Counterspace Threat and Strengthening of International Space Partnerships”. It will focus on the rapidly advancing threats to space operations and the role of space partnerships in addressing – and, hopefully, mitigating – this higher risk environment. It will examine the issue of space hybrid operations that span an increasing number of areas (including the commercial space sector), as well as the non-democratic model of space partnerships.
