SPI Student, Benjamin Staats, Published in Astropolitics Journal — Examines Rendezvous and Proximity Operations in Space

SPI student Benjamin Staats was published in Astropolitics — The International Journal of Space Politics & Policy.

His article, Mitigating Security Risks and Potential Threats of Emerging Rendezvous and Proximity Operations, thoughtfully explores the hazards associated with increased peaceful space activities and the need to develop commensurate policies.

He examines regulating behavior and registration practices, expanding the space situational awareness network to partners, declassifying data to increase transparency, improving communication, and the need for a space assurance strategy with credible deterrence options.
