Contested Space: Collaborating in the New Golden Age of Space Audio

This session convened space leaders from the US, Japan, India, and Australia. It considered challenges and opportunities in a contested, congested, and competitive space domain. It explored how the Quad states can work together towards achieving the next giant leap in space exploration - specifically the return of humans to the lunar surface to achieve the ability to undertake crewed missions to Mars. Finally, the panel considered how a high visibility collaborative project between Quad members in space can deliver a key advance in space globally.
