NEW 2025 Focus Day: Space Threats & Hazards

Space has never been more critical as a domain; it is vital to the functioning of key systems that underpin the modern world.
With this dependence has come an increased fear of risks to satellites and space systems, whether from hostile actors or natural phenomenon.
This is exactly what the brand-new Space Threats & Hazards Focus Day will explore at the Military Space Situational Awareness Conference.

Before discussing SSA operations at the main event, we’ll dive into just why we need to enhance capability by bringing together world-renowned experts to discuss threats from hostile actors, space weather events and the increasing risk of debris.

If you need to know just why SSA is so vital, this is the place to be. Don't just take our word for it...

Military Space Situational Awareness 2025 will continue to break the mould by giving you an event dedicated to supplying you with detailed knowledge and vision into the latest developments. Hear key programme updates from across the NATO and Allied world.

This is the only event that will:
Give you three days focused entirely on military and defence issues, including international collaboration, space debris, and domain awareness.

The conference will give you a platform for international collaboration on topics such as:
  • Space debris
  • Sustainability
  • On-orbit servicing
  • Active debris removal
  • Space domain awareness
  • Space weather
  • Orbital warfare
  • and more!

This three-day event is your gateway to interacting with key stakeholders spanning military, government, and industry, offering a comprehensive exploration of the sector's future. Immerse yourself in unparalleled networking opportunities in space situational awareness, ensuring a valuable experience.




This event is great for us. I’m from the space agency, we're a civilian organisation, this is a military conference, but what this does is underscores the importance coming together - to work together
