WSBR December Luncheon with Major General Steven Whitney, USSF

WSBR December Luncheon Featuring Maj. Gen. Steven Whitney, Director of Staff, Headquarters, U.S. Space Force

On December 20, 2019, the United States’ newest military service, the Space Force, was signed into creation. With a charge to secure the United States’ interests in, from, and to space, the service’s development has been a focused interest for the space community – stakeholders in industry, members of Congress, the Administration, international partners and allies – in the five years since.

Join the Washington Space Business Roundtable (WSBR) on Wednesday, December 11, at Hogan Lovells LLP from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm (ET) to hear from a senior USSF leader, Maj. Gen. Whitney, on the directive and direction he and his colleagues are achieving for the United States’ security in the space domain.

What has the Space Force achieved in that time? Where is the Space Force going from here? What are the threats today? How can industry partner with USSF to provide innovative solutions?
