SWF Washington Office Director Victoria Samson spoke at the Space for Island Nations Conference in the Maldives, hosted by the Maldives Space Research Organization, and the first ever space conference focused on Island Nations and the Maldives as a host country. Her panel was “New Space Diplomacy - how does international cooperation keep pace with emerging space?” She focused on the current state of space security and stability, why small island nations should be concerned about and involved in discussions about how to make space more predictable and safe for all, and what some of those solutions might be.
