At the same time\, nation states\, businesses and consumers are increasingly reliant on space services for day-to-day li fe as well as national security.\nThis briefing event will introduce recen t developments and work from several organisations looking at how technolo gy\, services\, policy\, safety and security will evolve\, and present a R eport outlining the contribution that Imperial can make to the development of relevant policy. Participating organisations include: Imperial College London\, BMT Group\, NATO\, London Institute of Space Policy and Law (ISP L).\nThe event will take place online. To register\, please email Max: m.s winscow-hall@imperial.ac.uk\nChair:\nProfessor Deeph Chana\, Imperial Coll ege London\nCo-Director of the Institute for Security Science and Technolo gy\nSpeakers:\nDr Jonathan Eastwood\, Imperial College London\nDr. Jonatha n Eastwood is Director of the Imperial Space Lab and a senior lecturer in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London. His research interes ts in space weather include the development of novel magnetometer instrume ntation for a range monitoring requirements\, most recently for the planne d Lagrange L5 mission and the Radcube Cubesat. He is also leading the deve lopment of a new generation of global magnetospheric models at Imperial Co llege for improved forecasting of geomagnetically induced currents and ext reme radiation belt dynamics. Dr Eastwood is a core-group member of the UK ’s Space Environment Impacts Expert Group and has also worked on the eco nomic impact of space weather.\nJonathan Eastwood will introduce the work of Space Lab\, which is an Imperial College Network of Excellence bringing together all of the College’s space research and engineering activities in one place. In this talk he will give an overview of Space Lab\, the di fferent research capabilities it contains\, and summarise recent activity and future plans.\nDr Christoph Beischl\, London Institute of Space Policy and Law at IALS\, UoL\nChristoph is a Research Fellow at London Institute of Space Policy and Law (ISPL)\, and a Physics Academic Visitor at Imperi al. His research focuses on\, among others\, Space Policy and Law in the A sian region\, the UK and Germany\, international space cooperation\, space terminology and Space Safety. His current long-term project is the creati on of the ISPL Dictionary of Space Terminology. He is further a member of the International Institute of Space Law\, the German ‘SichTRaum’ spac e research network and the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC). He se rved as Co-Lead of the SGAC Space Law and Policy Project Group from 2016-2 019. He holds a PhD from the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies\, Univers ity of London\, supervised by ISPL. Prior to that\, he completed a Magiste r Artium in Political Science (Major)\, Law and Modern and Contemporary Hi story (Minors) at the University of Munich\, Germany.\nImperial College Lo ndon (ICL) Space Lab commissioned a three month study by the London Instit ute of Space Policy and Law (ISPL) into ICL’s potential contribution of evidence based information to the development of UK Space Safety Policy. T he Project concluded in March 2020\, producing a Final Report and two supp orting reports.\nThis presentation gives an overview of the final report a nd its findings concerning each of five Space Safety subject areas: Terres trial Environmental Impacts of Space Activities\; Space Debris\; Planetary Defence\; Space Weather\; and Space Traffic Management.\nNick Howes\, BMT \nNick is an R&D/Test analyst with sixteen years’ experience working at the cutting edge of Research and Development. Formerly Deputy Director of Kielder Observatory\, Sci-Comms for ESA\, and development for the SKA Tele scope\, and Pro-Am Programme Manager for the Faulkes Telescope. Currently test analyst/SME for BMT’s Space R&D team.\nDefence departments and comm ercial organisations around the world are taking an increasing interest in the strategic environment of space.  As the training needs of the armed forces first evolved with the introduction of IT systems and now automated systems and new technologies\, so will the training needs of the operator s in the space domain. With the introduction of more complicated and intel ligent assets to an increasingly crowded environment\, what lessons can be learnt and transferred to the individuals operating defence and commercia l assets in the final frontier. BMT’s global expertise in providing trai ning services into existing defence domains\, as well as our independence\ , uniquely positions us to scan the horizon\, identify challenges and revi ew the technology and solutions that can meet future training needs in thi s unique environment. This talk will discuss BMT’s horizon scanning acti vities looking at the potential training needs of operators in this domain \, and the technology development required to meet it.\nRichard Laing\, NA TO Communications and Information Agency\nA retired RAF intelligence offic er\, Rich has over 20 years’ experience of operations\, policy\, and str ategy formulation prior to joining the NCI Agency in 2019. Working within the Joint Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Support Centre\, Ri ch provides ISR input to multiple projects including the NATO Alliance Gro und Surveillance capability\, the Alliance Future Surveillance Capability and the Alliance use of space services. Following the Alliance declaration of space as an operational domain in 2019\, Rich is working as part of a small team within the NCI Agency to consolidate space support activities i nto the NATO Space Technology Centre.\nFollowing the NATO declaration of s pace as an operational domain in 2019\, the NCI Agency is adapting to ensu re that the Alliance space requirements have a focal point that can ensure delivery and resilience today and in the future. The short brief will cov er the requirement for the establishment of the NATO Space Technology Cent re within the NCI Agency\, and outline the interactions with the NATO oper ational community\, Alliance Nations\, and space industry.
