On May 21st, the 6th IAASS Conference “Safety is Not an Option” kicked off in Montreal. US government officials, barred from international travel by budget constraints within their agencies, have nonetheless been anxious to participate via video feed. The US Air Force Chief of Safety, Major General Margareth H. Woodward, was one such, and now you can enjoy her talk even if you were not able to attend the conference. Here, General Woodward discusses orbital debris tracking, Space Surveillance, and Space Situational Awareness.
