Securing our Future
The Nexus of Space Security & Protection
The threats and risks to the space systems and associated infrastructure that support all aspects of daily life continue to grow. It’s increasingly vital to predict and address threats to national, allied, and commercial space systems. ASCEND focuses on addressing the protection of our space capabilities and navigating the trade-offs between efforts to produce value in space, manage the increasingly crowded space domain, and protect our ability to operate freely in space. The ASCEND community connects the Department of Defense and other government agencies with key commercial and academic players to forge solutions that enable the continued open use of space for the benefit of all humankind.
