Space safety might start and finish with human safety, but how does safety run across the entire value chain – from launch to operations to reentry? How do norms of behavior, or technology advancements and economic prosperity play into maintaining the orbital environment?  How is The Aerospace Corporation’s Space Safety Institute responding to these challenges?  In this episode, Aerospace's Dr. Angie Bukley, Technical Fellow, explores these questions with Carissa Christensen, CEO and Founder of BryceTech, and CSPS Senior Advisor about these questions and sets the stage for moving forward together on space safety. This episode is part of the Center for Space Policy and Strategy's series on “Space Safety Through a Global Lens”. The series will cover a range of foundational topics on issues related to space safety from an international perspective, including:  Space Weather , Satellites, & Human SafetyWhat Is Space Safety? International Cooperation with Europe ESA’s Zero Debris Policy International Launch SafetyIn-Space Rescue The Space Policy Show is produced by The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy and Strategy.

There is little argument as to the importance of keeping space usable – both government and industry leaders continue to weigh in at the 5th annual Summit for Space Sustainability.  Proponents of sustainability for space have traditionally looked at the environment as crowded, with great attention given to space traffic coordination, debris mitigation and norms of operations.  How is the definition of space sustainability expanding? Will non-binding agreements be enough or is regulation inevitable?  How important is the role of industry and what are key players saying? How do we measure success across the sector?Watch this episode with (4) short interviews featuring Mark Dickenson (Vice President, Viasat), Carolyn Belle (Director, Astroscale US), Mark Mozena (Vice President, Planet Labs), and Krystal Azelton (Director, SWF).  The entire event can be viewed on YouTube, hosted by Secure World Foundation.  The Space Policy Show is produced by The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy and Strategy.
