Product Code: R215-432Description MilSpace 2007 represents a terrific opportunity to explore recent developments in space systems as well as the growing importance of space applications for the military in the 21st Century, detailing challenges, solutions to such challenges and lessons learnt through operational experience. Bringing together a dynamic mix of high level government, military officials and industry experts, the conference will consider current space policy and requirements and how such requirements can be integrated into the future vision for the military space arena. In doing so, the conference will also examine the issue of space control, and the movement towards space weaponisation, evaluating the purpose of such a movement and the challenges inherent.
