With over 70 nations now having satellites in orbit, space has become a highly competitive arena. Major powers like the USA, Russia, and China are rapidly expanding their military space capabilities such as advanced military satellite technologies and anti-satellite weapons. In addition to these state actors, commercial entities are playing an increasingly significant role. The space domain has become increasingly contested, with industry and governments driving innovation and expanding access to space.

Now in its 7th year, the Space Operations Summit continues to be the premier event for those shaping the future of military space domain. As we move into 2025, the space and defence landscape is becoming increasingly complex. The need for NATO and its allies to invest in robust and resilient space defence strategies is very clear.

Why Attend?

Engage with senior UK military and government officials, international space commanders, and leaders in disruptive technologies. This is your chance to influence and play a pivotal role in the development and operations of the military space capabilities.

Network with over 150 delegates from across the space domain, including military and government organisations, international partners, the space science and technology community, and industry leaders.

Gain insights from a series of impactful presentations and discussions led by Space Commanders, the Ministry of Defence, and other key partners in the sector. Discover strategic plans, operational capability targets, and programme delivery milestones that will shape the space domain.

TESTIMONIALS

"It was a valuable experience in terms of new knowledge related to space operations, technology advances, the challenges and risks present in the operational environment, the recognition of resilience as a factor to Space Operations, as well as (providing the) networking necessary to build a space community to handle education and space situational awareness."

“Great venue to hear from so many senior leaders from multiple countries and organizations. The information that most of the speakers had to present was very informative and relevant to me”

"It’s bringing together the military warfighters, the practitioners, and the industry representatives into the same forum and allow them to actually open debate on some of the topics of interest"
