As our dependency on space technology grows, it’s clearer than ever: space matters. The Wilson Center’s Across Karman project takes you across the Karman Line for an in-depth look at how space systems impact our daily lives. We offer insights and analysis of space technology and innovation and confront the need for strategic global policies and collaboration that will ensure the security, prosperity, and longevity of space. Across Karman aims to lead the conversation around space as a global policy issue by examining how the rapidly increasing commercialization of space impacts international collaboration across sectors.
Across Karman is a project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars' Science and Technology Innovation Program (STIP). Stay connected by following us on Twitter at @WilsonSTIP.
