Since the launch of Sputnik, the space domain has remained largely occupied by state actors, first dominated by the two superpowers, then later shared by a few other states that have ascended the skies. However, those few states no longer hold a monopoly over space. Countries across the globe have developed robust space programs, and the massive growth of commercial space actors has fundamentally changed the security landscape. Recent events in Ukraine and Russia illustrate such trends, which have aggravated the increasingly congested, contested, and competitive nature of the space environment. In a precarious situation where the slightest mistakes can have devastating consequences, students will work together to resolve a crisis while still maintaining national interests and objectives.
Please fill out this form if you plan on participating in the Fall Space Crisis Simulation. You will be assigned to a country team and will have to make military and diplomatic decisions with your team as the crisis unfolds. The teams will be revealed on the day of the simulation.
The event will be held on
Saturday, November 4th, 2023 from 9a-3p at Princeton University, with breakfast and lunch provided. All participants will be in person. All majors, years, and programs are welcome; there is no citizenship requirement.
