The Aerospace Corporation and its Center for Space Policy and Strategy have released Space Agenda 2025, which, according to the publication’s introduction, is meant to provide leaders in government and the space sector with highlights and insights concerning major space challenges.
Policy Issues
Aerospace said Thursday that Space Agenda 2025 addresses various national security, commercial space and civil space-related policy issues such as the rise of proliferated Department of Defense space systems and accompanying supply chain issues; an increasingly contested geopolitical environment and the role that space assets have to play; growing interest in lunar and cislunar activities; and impacts to space sustainability.
The first entry in the Space Agenda series was launched four years ago. The latest entry “builds on our previous work and offers forward-looking perspectives on the most important topics affecting how our nation and its allies are approaching leadership and competition in space,” Aerospace President and CEO Steve Isakowitz said in a letter accompanying the publication.
A Free Resource
The publication is being offered as a free resource “to aid U.S. leaders and policymakers, including the next presidential administration and Congress, as they navigate critical decisions and deepen strategic partnerships over the next four years,” Isakowitz added.
For his part, Aerospace Vice President, CSPS Executive Director and Wash100 awardee Jamie Morin said the contents of the publication “illuminate the critical policy and economic choices facing the U.S. over the next four years in order to maximize the value space delivers to the American people.”
