With NATO breaking new ground, Space Operations provides a unique forum for developing this newest warfighting domain. With sessions across three days, it will work to support efforts to improve access to and capability in space; offering industry an opportunity to share innovations in space command and control, situational awareness and launch service provision.

Alongside these sessions, the conference will work to enhance the delivery of effects from space, with case studies examining efforts to leverage satellite communications, geospatial intelligence and other assets as enablers – capable of supporting future joint operations.
