SUMMARY
The Space Policy, Science + Technology Symposium @ Purdue brings together government, military, industry and academia. Drawing on their collective knowledge and experience, participants will help to identify knowledge gaps and set next steps in research, partnering and policy development.
2026 Symposium Theme: Addressing Space Debris as a U.S. National Security Risk
Space debris is not just a technical or environmental issue — it is a pressing national security concern. As the U.S. seeks to maintain space superiority, it must ensure the safety and sustainability of orbital operations to preserve military readiness, economic stability and strategic dominance in the space domain.Addressing the national security risks of space debris requires a combination of sound policy and its enforcement, technological innovation and strategic deterrence. By improving space-domain awareness, investing in debris mitigation, enhancing maneuverability and reinforcing international norms, the U.S. can safeguard its assets and maintain space superiority in an increasingly contested environment.
