The 2024 Outer Space Security Conference (OS24) provided a unique forum for the diplomatic community, along with experts from the military, industry, civil society and academia to jointly consider challenges and solutions related to security in outer space.
As space becomes ever more contested and congested, the danger of accidental, deliberate or natural incidents is likely to increase significantly. Space systems face multiple challenges which have to be properly understood in order to be effectively mitigated. These challenges range from solar flares to the placement of weapons in outer space; the use of counterspace capabilities; the use of space capabilities for hybrid or aggressive activities and the threat or use of force in outer space, from outer space, towards outer space, or against space systems and their components. This panel provided a technical and political perspective on the spectrum of dangers to space assets and personnel, discussed the challenge of distinguishing between risks and threats in space and the potential for grey zone activities to create instability, and examined the consequences of space dangers, including in terms of driving arms racing and increasing the risk of escalation both in space and on Earth.
