What’s Ahead for the Space Development Agency?

June 4, 2020
10:00 EDT | 15:00 BST | 22:00 SGT


The Pentagon’s Space Development Agency (SDA), is finally gaining traction and seeking pitches its architecture of satellites that can fulfill military objectives for communication, navigation, missile warning and tracking. Eventually, the agency may send thousands of satellites into orbit. But what is that constellation going to look like? What are the risks ahead? If the U.S. is buying thousands of satellites, how does that change its military strategy? And how might that affect how the commercial industry uses space?

SDA’s Director Derek Tournear joins Aviation Week Network editors to discuss these questions and how his organization is likely to transition into the fledgling Space Force. 

Moderated by Jen DiMascio, Executive Director, Defense & Space, Aviation Week Network.

Panelists:
Dr. Derek Tournear, Director, Space Development Agency

Steve Trimble, Defense Editor, Aviation Week Network

Lee Hudson, Pentagon Editor, Aviation Week Network
