Week 6
Space Politics & Sustainability

Topics for the week

Module A: The Politics of Space

Module B: Space Sustainability:
Concepts, Policy & Legislation

In this week delivered by Alden Legal, you’ll explore the complex international politics surrounding space activities. With the rapid increase in space operations, sustainability is now a crucial consideration for those involved in designing, building, and operating space hardware and data products. You’ll examine the growing challenges posed by space debris, the risks to our technological infrastructure and space assets, and how the global space community is responding. This is an essential topic for anyone working in or engaging with the future of space exploration and technology.
