3 March 2026 | 13:15 | Space Power: Building Resilient Interoperable Space Capabilities for Defence

Space capabilities are becoming central to defence and security operations. As space infrastructures grow more connected, the focus shifts to standardisation and interoperability: how do allies build systems that are resilient on their own and effective together?

This panel examines space's strategic role, the policies that shape how capabilities are deployed, and what collaboration across allies requires in practice.

ICEYE's perspective: sovereign constellations that operate independently and federate when missions demand it. National control stays intact. Allied coverage scales beyond what any single nation could achieve alone.

Joost Elstak, VP Missions Sales at ICEYE, joins speakers from NATO, the European External Action Service, and Novaspace.
