The future of space security

The National Security Podcast

Why should policy practitioners and law makers focus their attention on space? What does space security look like from a gendered perspective? Is commercialisation disrupting the way that space is used for warfare? And why is space diplomacy important for Australia – regionally and internationally?

In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Dr Cassandra Steer joins Dr Danielle Ireland-Piper to discuss the security dimensions of space and the consequences of it being a dual-use environment.

Dr Cassandra Steer is the Deputy Director – Mission Specialist with the ANU Institute of Space (InSpace).

Dr Danielle Ireland-Piper is Associate Professor and Academic Convenor at the ANU National Security College.
