Space systems are increasingly important to U.S. national security, as global powers jockey for technological supremacy on the ground and in the stars. As interest in the space domain explodes and tensions in the Indo-Pacific mount, Washington must ready for adversarial actions against launch infrastructure, satellites, contractors and more.

Join Axios for an event in Washington, D.C., convening space and security leaders for conversations about the new space race, private industry’s impact, the threat of antisatellite arsenals and the broader geopolitical consequences.
