I'm excited to announce that I will be interning for the Office of Space Commerce for the duration of the fall semester as part of Claremont McKenna College's Washington Program! I must give a wholehearted thank-you to Jason Kim, Gabriel Swiney, and Janice Starzyk for this truly incredible opportunity, I cannot be more grateful to work with this fantastic and hardworking team! I look forward to doing my part in supporting the vast and vibrant commercial spaceflight industry!

How are commercial constellations and private space stations changing the commercial future of LEO? The Aerospace Corporation's Center for Space Policy and Strategy and the Elliott School of International Affairs Space Policy Institute invite you to explore this question during a one-day hybrid symposium on commercial developments in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Join us September 6, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. ET, for keynote remarks from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Director of Office of Space Commerce, Richard DalBello, and a day of discussions highlighting the perspectives of industry and government on the latest challenges and opportunities in LEO. 🔔 Check out the event agenda and RSVP: https://lnkd.in/exrcrE9a

Pleased to see the release of this proposed framework for international SSA data sharing from World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on the Future of Space. The new paper is consistent with, and expands upon, OSC's vision for global SSA coordination released earlier this year. #SpaceTrafficCoordination
The World Economic Forum's GFC on The Future of Space has just released a new briefing paper which outlines key principles for data and information exchange when it comes to #SpaceSituationalAwareness (SSA). SSA is the ability to monitor the location of objects in orbit, predict their future location and warn of potential collisions - it provides the foundation for space safety and sustainability. With rapidly increasing traffic in Earth orbits, operators of satellites from different countries need to be able to know of potential collisions with other active satellites or debris. The key idea presented in the paper is that for space traffic to "flow" smoothly around our planet, there needs to be a transparent environment where each operator shares data and information with their respective SSA providers (of which there are also a number around the world) about location of their assets as well as their planed manoeuvres and these, in turn, communicate with each other to ensure nothing is missed. Standardization obviously becomes also a critical point, as different systems would need to talk to each other! Special thanks to the authors Richard DalBello, Mariel Borowitz, Carissa Bryce Christensen, Simonetta Di Pippo, Pascale Ehrenfreund, Aarti Holla-Maini, Jamie Morin, Guoyu Wang, Nobuhiro Matsuyama, and Peter Martinez, as well as Forum colleagues Hazuki Mori, Minoo Rathnasabapathy and Arnaud Bacq.

This year’s U.S.-Japan Comprehensive Dialogue on Space took place in three separate tracks over the course of two days: Track 1.0 (gov-gov), Track 1.5 (gov-industry), and a newly formed Track 2.0 (industry-industry). The joint statement from the #CompDial is now available at https://lnkd.in/gDu2Dwug We look forward to taking the next steps forward together! The White House Cabinet Office, Government of Japan
The Office of Space Commerce, NOAA Satellite and Information Service, and other federal agencies are at the U.S. Department of State today for the government-to-government session of the U.S.-Japan Comprehensive Dialogue on Space. Co-chaired by The White House (National Space Council & National Security Council) and the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan (National Space Policy Secretariat), the #CompDial promotes cooperation across all space sectors—civil, commercial, and security—which are increasingly interdependent. OSC gave a readout of yesterday's Track 1.5 session with U.S. and Japanese industry. OSC also provided an update on our Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) and our vision for global space situational awareness (SSA) coordination.
