Secure World Foundation has published its July 2026 Newsletter.
Secure World Foundation’s July 2026 newsletter is now available, with updates on space governance, security, sustainability, and upcoming SWF activities around the world.
This edition opens with a new Insight from SWF Executive Director Peter Martinez examining the pressures facing the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. The article looks at how COPUOS can respond to rising membership, geopolitical tensions, a growing agenda, and resource constraints while preserving consensus-based diplomacy.
The newsletter also highlights several major SWF initiatives. Readers can learn more about registration and university sponsorship opportunities for the 8th Summit for Space Sustainability in Brasília, the completion of all UN Member State profiles on the Space Security Portal, and a new report on verifying compliance with the Outer Space Treaty’s prohibition on placing nuclear weapons in orbit.
Additional updates include details on SWF’s upcoming orbital data centers panel in Washington, the 2026 Outer Space Security Conference in Geneva, the AMOS Policy Forum in Maui, and recent staff participation in workshops and policy discussions across Asia, Europe, and the United States.
