Panelists will discuss recent developments in the UN Guidelines on the Long-term Sustainability of Space Activities, a new UN Open-Ended Working Group on outer space security, the Artemis Accords for space exploration and development, measures to reduce the growing risk from orbital debris, and how international cooperation might evolve after the end of the International Space Station program in 2030.
