Combined Space Operations celebrates the 10-year anniversary at the Italy meeting.
The United States released a joint statement with fellow members of the Combined Space Operations (CSpO) last week, marking the 10th anniversary of the international collaboration. The governments of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom reaffirmed their commitment to upholding peace and stability within global space development at their annual meeting in Florence, Italy, including a mutual ban on “destructive direct-ascent anti-satellite missile tests.”
“In looking to the future, the Principals committed to working together in pursuit of current and new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration; to preserve access and freedom to operate in space, and to promote responsible space behaviors in support of economic, scientific, commercial, and security interests,” the nations stated.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For U.S. officials as they seek consensus on space guidelines and freedoms.
- For the president and members of his administration as they make agreements in the remaining weeks of this term.
