We know that it’s hard to stay up-to-date on USIP’s latest publications, so we’ve challenged our teams to summarize their latest research in less than a minute. Against a background of intensifying U.S.-China competition, technological advancements, and a growing number of space actors, the space environment is facing unprecedented and destabilizing challenges. Nuclear entanglement, direct-ascent anti-satellite testing, and the deployment of large and very large satellite constellations are among the most urgent drivers of instability. In this edition of “Briefly,” lead author Bruce MacDonald describes several key recommendations on how to address these issues in a new USIP report.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
