FEBRUARY 8 - FEBRUARY 9, 2021

STRATEGIC SPACE

Space has a lot of stakeholders.

​

Some of us are aiming for Mars and the Moon, while others want their feet firmly planted on Earth. Some consume data from the sky in order to make life and death decisions, while others simply want a ride-share taxi from a night on the town (pre-Covid). Some fight for 'people' in space, while others think 'ones-and-zeros' of software and robots should be our primary explorers.

The Space Force Association (SFA) provides research, analysis and expertise to inform US space operations policy, strategy, and operations decisions.   The SFA is unique in its focus on US space operations and pursues three focus areas to contribute to continues US superiority in the space domain: philanthropy, research and network.
