This research project will examine how military investments in space technology can create financial challenges and dependencies that hinder the growth and independence of civil and commercial space initiatives.

#PalestineSpaceInstitute #DecouplingSpace #DualUse #SpacePolicy #Fellowship
Centered white text on a dark blue and teal gradient background. Header says “PSI Fellowship Topic Number 1” in all capital letters. Body text says, ”Space exploration as a scientific endeavor largely emerged from the development of military technologies during and after the Second World War and the Cold War. This legacy has persisted for many space economies, with dedicated space branches of militaries, as well a private industry in which the largest companies developing space technologies also produce satellites, rockets, and munitions for militaries.”

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.”
