Securing The Future of Space
Satellites are the backbone of modern infrastructure, but the rapid expansion of space activities brings new challenges. Orbital debris threatens operational satellites, while policy gaps raise concerns about the equitable and sustainable use of space. By addressing these challenges, we can protect vital satellite services, enable innovation, and lay the groundwork for a secure and prosperous space economy. Through education, collaboration, and actionable insights, this campaign highlights the critical steps needed to safeguard our shared orbital resources.
Podcast: Everyday Guardians, Episode 2 – Technology and Politics
In Everyday Guardians, the podcast series of the Securing the Future of Space campaign, we speak with the people who are helping to build a more resilient, sustainable and secure orbital environment – whether through technology, policy or ethical leadership. Securing the Future of Space is underwritten by the American Space Exploration Fund. In the second episode, we hear from Dr. Alina Utrata, political theorist and Career Development Research Fellow at St. John's College, Oxford University.
Dr. Alina Utrata is a political theorist focusing on the politics of technology corporations and currently a Career Development Research Fellow at St John’s College, Oxford University. She received her PhD in Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge as a Gates-Cambridge scholar, where her research examined how Silicon Valley companies have come to amass forms of political power through their control of technological regimes. In her free time, she hosts and produces the podcast The Anti-Dystopians, the politics podcast about tech.
