7th Annual SmallSat & Space Access Summit

Defense Strategies Institute is proud to host the 7^th Annual SmallSat & Space Access Summit. This comprehensive two-day event will bring together leaders across DoD, Federal Government, IC and industry to discuss the advancements in commercial and government small spacecraft and launch capabilities. This forum will also address current efforts toward building an agile and reliable space architecture that includes the proliferation of small satellite systems.

The global small satellite market will more than double between 2022 and 2028, increasing from $3.2 billion to $7 billion, primarily being driven by the increasing need for secure satellite communications, for both military missions and commercial applications. At the 7^th Annual SmallSat & Space Access Summit, decision-makers from across DoD, the Federal Government, IC and commercial industry will highlight the accomplishments and developments of the last year, as well as discuss the challenges faced in building an agile and reliable space architecture that includes the proliferation of small satellite systems.

As DoD continues to embrace a more agile satellite procurement strategy, the proliferation of small satellite constellations remains a critical component towards meeting U.S. military needs.Senior-level leaders from across the Military Services & Federal Government will highlight the accomplishments and developments of the last year on various small satellite projects, as well as discuss the technologies and policies that will be needed to overcome the next set of challenges in deploying/securing such satellites. Attendees at the 7^th Annual SmallSat & Space Access Summit will have the opportunity to directly engage with leaders and experts across the space enterprise, in a robust discussion about the bold innovation and action that will enhance small spacecraft capabilities and assure US space domain dominance. Finally, a panel of experts will convene to discuss efforts toward leveraging commercial innovation to enhance launch capabilities for federal small satellite initiatives.
