Sol Speaker Series: “Protecting the Final Frontier”

Time TBD

“Protecting the Final Frontier”

Major Sam McEvoy, UK Space Command

Space is a congested and competitive domain. Hazards in space range from space weather to space debris. The space domain also includes a growing range of threats, including nefarious activity from hostile and irresponsible actors seeking to maximise their advantage in the space domain.

Based in Buckinghamshire and staffed by Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force, alongside civil servants and contractors, UK Space Command’s mission is to work with allies and partners around the world to make space safe, secure, and sustainable for all generations.
