New space policy center will help shape our space future

The aerospace community is reckoning with a proliferation of public and private space organizations and with new capabilities constantly emerging, all of which threaten to disrupt current practices and policies.

CU Boulder established the Colorado Space Policy Center (CSPC) this year to explore 
this evolving landscape and study the present and future of space exploration, including research and development efforts and emerging policy issues.

The center will conduct original research and provide a venue for experts and key stakeholders to discuss and debate space policy issues. It will also provide a comprehensive educational program to address advances in space science and technology, the role of government in the changing space landscape, growth of commercial space, increase in global entrants, and interaction between civilian and military entities.
