Malcolm Davis, The Strategist:
Australia holds key advantages in contributing to allied interests in space security, says Lieutenant-General Nina Armagno, the director of staff at the US Space Force, who was in Australia last week for ASPI’s space and national security masterclass and dialogue.
Armagno noted that Australia is a prime location for space domain awareness and has sites close to the equator that are ideal for space launches, particularly in northern Australia. This assessment is consistent with the Defence Department’s 2022 space strategy, which reinforces the importance of assuring access to space and maintaining a resilient space capability.
