Future Space Domain Awareness Needs for National Security Space
This series—featuring scholars from the Aerospace Security Project, non-resident experts, and the broader space community—explores key space trends, challenges, and policy issues that will confront the next administration as well as offers recommendations for how to navigate them. The rapid growth in the number, sizes, maneuverability, capability, and orbital diversity of objects in the Earth-Moon system will demand much more capable space domain awareness (SDA) in the years ahead.
