Location: Hall 4 - Space Zone Theatre
As space becomes more congested and contested, insight matters more than information. This session explores the shift from Space Situational Awareness to Space Domain Awareness, moving beyond tracking objects to understanding behaviour, context and intent in orbit.
It examines how sensing, data fusion and analytics are translated into operational judgement, how confidence is built under uncertainty, and what standards and partnerships are needed to turn awareness into timely, trusted decisions across civil, defence and commercial space operations.
Confirmed Speakers:
- Julie Holt-Jones, Chief Executive, Space4Sight (Moderator)
- Victoria Cope, Defence's Digital Commercial Director, MOD
- Mark Bitterman, Vice President of Government Affairs, Portal Space Systems
- Matthew Archer, Deputy Director, Launch, SDAA & ISAM, UK Space Agency
