This research seeks to uncover the multifaceted interconnections among space companies, their funding mechanisms, and the financial dividends derived from the ongoing military assaults in Gaza.

Centered white text on a dark blue and teal gradient background. Header says “PSI Fellowship Topic Number 4” in all capital letters. Body text says, ”The nature of space as a dual-use industry means that space and defense are interlinked, amplifying the ethical complexities surrounding the space industry's role in military endeavors. In the wake of the most recent assault on Gaza, we have seen the stock prices of defense companies skyrocket, shedding light on the financial incentives driving the arms trade and the complicity of various sectors, including the space industry.”

This research would focus on drafting a proposed resolution aimed at the demilitarization of space & analyzing existing treaties, identifying gaps, and suggesting practical steps toward an international commitment to keep space free of weapons.

#DemilitarizeSpace #PSIFellowship
Centered white text on a dark blue and teal gradient background. Header says “PSI Fellowship Topic Number 3” in all capital letters. Body text says, ”The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which forms the basis of international space law, prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction in space and limits the use of the Moon and other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes. Despite these provisions, the treaty does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit, and the potential for space to become weaponized remains a significant concern.”
