Space now shapes military advantage, civil resilience, and economic activity. The Space Economy continues to advance and grow at a fantastic pace, but the threat picture also moves fast. New tools—co-orbital proximity operations, sustained maneuver and inspection, precision jamming and spoofing, directed energy, cyber access to space and ground segments, and the first wave of AI-enabled autonomy—compress decision time and expand the gray zone below armed conflict. This program gives you a clear, operationally grounded view of those behaviors and the legal thresholds that govern credible responses. What this session delivers: - Level-set the New Space environment. We translate technical terms into concrete behaviors. You will see how “jamming,” “spoofing,” “dazzling,” and “RPO” show up in practice, which facts matter for escalation analysis, and what indicators you should insist on collecting.
- Link tech to law. We connect observable conduct to treaty duties and customary principles that actually drive counsel: due regard, harmful interference, state responsibility, attribution, and the boundaries of countermeasures. The focus is disciplined judgment in the gray zone, where most real problems live.
- Operational lawyering. You will leave with questions to ask and decision paths that preserve options.
- Near-term and horizon actions. We identify steps you can support in the next twelve months and flag reforms that will matter over the next three to five years as servicing, refueling, and cislunar activity grow.
