STPI Holds Panel on Space Traffic Management

On July 30, 2018, under the auspices of the IDA Space Issues Working Group, the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) hosted a panel discussion inspired by the release of Space Policy Directive-3 (SPD-3) of June 18, 2018, National Space Traffic Management Policy (83 Federal Register 28969). SPD-3 outlines U.S. national priorities, defines terms, and allocates roles and responsibilities for federal departments and agencies regarding space situational awareness (SSA) and space traffic management (STM).
