Security and policy issues of space activities - Space and Security

The 9th of February saw one of the first conferences in Europe on the sensitive topic of “space and security”, featuring six presentations of high-ranking experts in the areas of strategic planning, international law, technology and economics as well as policy making, followed by an intense discussion on what types of challenges and threats are to be taken into account, how the USA and Europe are dealing with them and what Europe should do in the near future to establish a successful security and military defence doctrine, while utilising the power-multiplying factor “space”.
