COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. –
United States Space Command and the United States Air Force Academy Department of Law will co-host the fifth annual USSPACECOM Legal Conference February 25-27, 2025.
The legal conference is a three-day hybrid virtual and in-person event held at Polaris Hall on the United States Air Force Academy campus in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The second and third days of the event will be broadcast online.
The 2025 conference theme is, Space Law in the Decisive Decade. The conference will spend time taking stock of the past five years examining developments in the domain as well as space law and policy, and look ahead at what is likely to come in the next five years and how law and policy might address challenges and contribute to a safe, secure, and sustainable space domain.
This year’s panelists will include a broad range of representatives from partner nations, academia, commercial industry, the Department of Defense, and the interagency. Keynote speakers and panelists will discuss, among other topics: developments in applying international humanitarian law to space operations, the threat of nuclear weapons in outer space, legal challenges with commercial integration in national security space operations, space as an international team sport, and the legal implications of the growing space superiority mission.
The 2025 USSPACECOM legal conference will invite operators and legal practitioners to reflect on the past five years and look ahead at the role space law can play in this decisive decade for the space domain and the rules based international order.
