It’s a big week for space security discussions, with #OS22 kicking off a flurry of UN activity on space issues.

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

Gonna be a wild two days of space security in Geneva at #OS22, pumped to be here in person and to be on tomorrow’s menu

Our non-resident scholar and great thinker @moribajah is one of the newest @macfound Fellows! We're over the Moon that he has been recognized for his transdisciplinary work that charts a path to overcome the myriad human-caused challenges to sustainable uses of Earth’s orbits.

China's Shenzhou-14 mission is a big step toward completing the Tiangong space station by the end of the year. @47stein outlines China's motivations and aspirations, and the potential impact of new space stations on international space cooperation:

At this week’s Quad summit, heads of state agreed to share civil Earth observation data collected by 🛰️. Yet the #Quad must do more to consult on #norms & rules that support the long-term sustainability of outer #space. Read the latest from @47stein: https://t.co/zf6e71kUsz

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

From the WH this morning, the space section of the #Quad's joint statement focuses on sharing satellite data to enable disaster preparedness and response, followed by a brief commitment to continue talks on rules/norms for space sustainability.

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

Tomorrow's Quad meeting will likely touch on space; whether 🇦🇺🇯🇵🇺🇸🇮🇳 focus on using satellite data for climate monitoring or practicing norms for orbital sustainability is TBA.

Lifting some choice principles from the Artemis Accords would be a good start.

[Carnegie Space Project @CarnegieSpace]

New recommendations from @47stein to spur progress on space issues ahead of the Quad's meeting in Tokyo on Tuesday.

The Quad should borrow some principles from the Artemis Accords as a foundation for a joint commitment to space sustainability norms.

@StateDept put $6m into a Conflict Observatory “to capture, analyze, and make widely available evidence of Russia-perpetrated war crimes. … [the CO] will analyze and preserve publicly + commercially available info, including satellite imagery.” Reports at https://t.co/X0qHih6pZ9

A long-form assessment of how India's growth as a space power has (and has not) reflected their post-WWII pursuit of nuclear weapons and the associated geopolitical power, from @47stein

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

The journal is live! Glad to have been able to dig into comparing India’s nuclear and anti-satellite weapons programs. The parallels go deeper than a shared code name - the historical case study is food for thought as we consider future space treaties.

[Carnegie Space Project @CarnegieSpace]

Helpful context from @47stein in understanding recent space policy news: the Biden Administration took smaller steps on space sustainability prior to ending destructive, direct-ascent anti-satellite weapons tests.

More commentary on some of those efforts: https://t.co/aSv7VHko1K

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

The Biden Admin has clearly mapped the environmental priorities: See SecDef Austin’s June ’21 memo instructing DOD to not intentionally create debris, or NSTC Nat'l Strategy for in-space servicing assembly & manufacturing that makes plans to offer bounties for removing space junk

[Carnegie Space Project @CarnegieSpace]

It has been a big week for space policy, and we're just barely halfway through.

Read a new commentary from @nktpnd and @47stein on the United State's recent commitment to voluntarily refrain from destructive, direct-ascent anti-satellite weapons tests:

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

This is a major aspect of why the White House's new norm-building adventure has a chance: you can verify and attribute actions that flaunt the norm, and there aren't really any ways to cheat it in militarily meaningful ways.

[Benjamin Silverstein @47stein]

"Developing a shared understanding of what constitutes safe and responsible space activities contributes to a more stable space environment by reducing the risk of miscommunication and miscalculation."

"I believe, without clear norms, we face unnecessary risks in space," Harris says.

[Carnegie Endowment @CarnegieEndow]

The world has arranged rules for terrestrial, maritime, and aeronautical collision avoidance. It’s time to establish similar rules for Earth’s orbits.

@CarnegieSpace’s @47stein explains what policymakers can do to reduce satellite collision risks: https://t.co/eNRjXhqylp
