Global Space Traffic Management Workshop

Ian Christensen, SWF Senior Director, Private Sector Programs, will participate in the Global Space Traffic Management Workshop hosted by the University of Edinburgh and Lockheed Martin, taking place September 1–3, 2026, at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland.

This year’s workshop will focus on expanding information sharing to support practical standards, best practices, and metrics for space traffic management. Discussions will address ways to broaden data and information exchange across national, coalition, and international civil and military space command and control frameworks.

The workshop will also examine how shared insights can support standards, best-practice guidelines, and measurable metrics that can be adopted by the global space community. Participants will also discuss outreach strategies to make these resources more visible and easier to implement.

The workshop will feature interactive, scenario-based discussions designed to produce community guidance on research and development, policy development, and the evolution of operational frameworks.
