ATTEND IN THE ZONE TO EXPLORE THE ZONE ABOVE Perth s Optus Stadium will set the scene for a thought-provoking conference, delving into space exploration, and the role of along with its strategic partners in the Indo-Pacific region. Our capabilities in this area continue to evolve, building upon the recent establishment of n Space Agency. In collaboration with The, the Perth USAsia is hosting the 2018 In The Zone (ITZ) conference with a focus on space policy and international engagement. The Zone Above: The Indo-Pacific Era in Space will bring together experts from across the region for a thought provoking discussion on s strategy to work with its Indo-Pacific partners to secure space, maintain the space environment, and enhance earth observation capabilities. Join us at ITZ to influence and shape s space agenda exploring three key themes: SECURITY Indo-Pacific countries will need to ensure access and use of the Zone Above is free, assured, and secure. Space technology can have military, intelligence, and civilian applications, so a code of conduct and agreed norms are needed to maintain trust and cooperation. What kind of legal and political frameworks are necessary to secure space? What are the risks involved with the technologies that we are developing? EARTH OBSERVATION Scientists rely on earth observation satellites as their eye in the sky to collect critical data and visualise information needed to solve terrestrial problems, including climate change and water scarcity. Satellite constellations provide services like precision navigation and provide information and communications technology to remote areas. What other cutting-edge applications does earth observation have? Which emerging problems could earth observation help solve? SPACE ENVIRONMENT Low-earth orbits are becoming crowded with debris like remnants of spent rocket stages and decommissioned satellites, making collisions more likely and earth observation more difficult. There are risks for all countries if the space environment becomes unusable. How can countries cooperate to clean up the space environment? As traffic increases, what tools do we have to prevent low-earth orbits from becoming cluttered with debris?
