@bec_shrimpton @namygoswami @CNA_org @jeffrey51735233 @HypersonixAU .@bec_shrimpton asks; 'Who is winning the space right now?'
@namygoswami says China is setting the pace and winning the narrative, and that is the important larger context beyond specific military or economic capabilities #ASPISpace
@bec_shrimpton @namygoswami @CNA_org The Chinese space industry is becoming saturated with inefficiencies and redundancies.
There are two dozen launch companies in China alone, notes Kevin Pollpeter, @CNA_org, far more than what is needed to meet China’s space launch demands #ASPISpace
@bec_shrimpton @namygoswami @CNA_org Kevin Pollpeter (@CNA_org) continues:
Traditionally it has been the Chinese government promoting the nation’s space industry, but we’ve seen a change where it’s the commercial and the private and the provincial government that has been funding the sector’s growth #ASPISpace
@bec_shrimpton @namygoswami @CNA_org China is looking to move from being a major space power to a great space power, on par with the US.
We’ve seen similar developments in China’s commercial space sector, says @CNA_org’s Kevin Pollpeter #ASPISpace
ASPI's @bec_shrimpton is joined by @namygoswami, Jeffrey Becker, David Waterhouse and @CNA_org's Dr Kevin Pollpeter for Session 4 of the #ASPISpace Masterclass on global commercial space trends.

@mdezwart; Space is a domain, but unusual, complex and unique in terms of physics so we can’t just replicate other international laws like the law of the sea. The law of armed conflict applies but the question is how… #ASPISpace.
We have already seen conflict in space, but they tend not to be lethal, destructive kind of conflict, says @DouglasLoverro, 'but we know that other nations are developing these kinds of capabilities. We know these things are going to happen in the future'. #ASPISpace 🛰️
'As human go further into space, the law will be challenged’, there will be ‘new scenarios created by humans in space' @mdezwart tells #ASPISpace.
Potential for lawfare & grey zone operations in space is where 'knowledge of the law and ability to use the law is important'.
.@KingsCollegeLon’s Dr Mark Hilborne notes the impact of commercial imagery was highlighted during the Russian buildup prior to their invasion of Ukraine.
Situational & domain awareness is another opportunity for commercial space. #ASPISpace
.@DouglasLoverro outlines the importance of using commercial services in space; 'We use commercial capabilities consistently, constantly in battle… space is no different.'
This makes commercial space entities 'legitimate military targets' 🛰️ #ASPISpace
Session 3 of the #ASPISpace Masterclass is about to start!
@lightningulas will lead a discussion with @Flinders @mdezwart, @DSD_Kings's Dr Mark Hilborne, @DouglasLoverro & @CSISAerospace's @Kaitlyn_Johns0n on space law & space resilience. 🚀

@AnnieHandmer @heorobotics @JaniceStarzyk @VirginOrbit @captainbrown @spaceindustryoz @GilmourSpace 'We need to continue increasing public awareness of the risks and threats we face to ensure we maintain a social license to increase investment in space national security' says Adam Gilmour @GilmourSpace #ASPISpace
@AnnieHandmer @heorobotics @JaniceStarzyk @VirginOrbit @captainbrown @spaceindustryoz @GilmourSpace The commercial market can provide defence technology that is now readily used and available.
AVM (ret’d) Mark Skidmore AM says Australia has the ability to build space technology that provides tactical space capability for allies #ASPISpace
