Morgan Stanley analysts recently estimated that the space industry, worth about $350 billion today, will grow to more $1 trillion by 2040. Speakers pointed to this potential as evidence of the importance of long-term space sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jennifer Warren, vice president of technology policy and regulation for Lockheed Martin, any regime must be holistic, encompassing protocols for physical assets, spectrum and interference. \u201cSpace sustainability is \u2026 a number of different dimensions. All of that goes toward creating an investment environment we hope will be hospitable for not only the existing space-faring nations, but future commercial activities in more nations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CHf84OVzQPigAa9n6nC8_ShowDaily18_Cover_Wrapup_DGTL-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CHf84OVzQPigAa9n6nC8_ShowDaily18_Cover_Wrapup_DGTL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CHf84OVzQPigAa9n6nC8_ShowDaily18_Cover_Wrapup_DGTL-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CHf84OVzQPigAa9n6nC8_ShowDaily18_Cover_Wrapup_DGTL-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CHf84OVzQPigAa9n6nC8_ShowDaily18_Cover_Wrapup_DGTL.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the Show Daily 2018 Wrap Up Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>Although the stock prices of traditional Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) operators have wavered in recent years, private capital continues to flood the NewSpace pocket of the market. Reaping the full value of these investments will require a safe and stable space environment \u2014 meaning any new activities will need to be transparent and closely monitored. The bureaucracy involved in obtaining the correct licenses and following proper regulatory protocols might sometimes be a headache, but ultimately it is for the benefit of everyone, the panelists agreed.<\/p>\n<p>The space community retains a certain \u201cinstitutional schizophrenia,\u201d said Kenneth Hodgkins, director of space and advanced technology for the U.S. State Department. On one hand, companies sometimes push back against regulations; but on the other hand, no one is comfortable with the risk that comes along with an unsupervised space environment.<\/p>\n<p>This concern only becomes more magnified as new space actors emerge onto the scene. \u201cThere are nanosatellites being launched \u2014 by India, by France \u2014 that we\u2019re not entirely clear have been properly authorized and supervised under the Outer Space Treaty,\u201d Hodgkins said. Thus, international cooperation will be key to establishing a \u201clevel playing field\u201d for all those who wish to benefit from space. Hodgkins said he doesn\u2019t want a situation where operators in the U.S. are held to different regulatory standards than their international peers. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair and it\u2019s not sustainable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6980f202ed0;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6980f202ed0 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6980f202ed1').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6980f202ed1'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An effective regime will also have to be flexible and responsive to change, said Jennifer Manner, Echostar\u2019s senior vice president of regulatory affairs. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit here today and foresee every use case and application. We need to think about things that are unpredictable,\u201d she said. \u201cThe real goal we have here is long-term safety of authorized space operations. But we must also prepare for things that are not authorized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there is always the risk someone will not follow the rules of the road. Just last week, news broke that that Swarm Technologies launched a set of nanosatellites on an Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) without approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). During another panel at the conference, Space World Foundation\u2019s Victoria Samson said the unauthorized launch proves self-regulation doesn\u2019t work. \u201cYou need to nationalize your domestic legislation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The panelists agreed that the U.S. in particular needs a lead agency with the overall responsibility of guaranteeing space sustainability. Such an agency would have to ensure full participation from all space actors, and could possibly establish some incentives to do so, Hodgkins said. It would also \u201ccreate communities of interest among different companies, supply chains and [academics] so there\u2019s a broader understanding\u201d of the regulations involved.<\/p>\n<p>Manner highlighted three elements of what a successful national and international space traffic regime would look like. First, it would have to address all objects \u2014 whether a SpaceX Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband satellite or a high school\u2019s scientific project \u2014 regardless of their distance from the Earth. Second, the framework would have to be dynamic and upgradable to accommodate new technologies and capabilities as they emerge over time. And it must also include debris mitigation regulations, data sharing requirements and organizational oversight.<\/p>\n<p>From an international perspective, the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) has put out the first set of guidelines for sustainable space use. According to U.N. Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) Director Simonetta di Pippo, the international community will gather in Vienna, Austria, this summer to discuss the future of global space cooperation. Currently, COPUOS has 87 member states, and that number will continue to expand as growing countries become space powers.<\/p>\n<p>The event, called Unispace+50, \u201cwill be a turning point in terms of being more supportive of the interests of all member states, in particular developing countries,\u201d di Pippo said. <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This
