The Space Operations Summit (SoS) aims to bring together government, defense, and industry space professionals, policy makers, researchers, educators, and students to share and discover what’s happening across this domain.
Space operations are becoming increasingly complex and challenging as more actors and activities enter the domain.
SoS will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical sessions, and networking opportunities on groundbreaking topics. The summit will also showcase the latest developments and achievements in space technology, applications, and services.
The Space Operations Summit will provide a platform for exchanging ideas, insights, and best practices for advancing space operations and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the space environment.
