A Close Encounter in Space: What Is Russia Planning? | Space Strategic Dialogue

Russia’s Cosmos 2612 has conducted unusual maneuvers that could bring it very close to a U.S.-registered commercial satellite operated by ICEYE, which supports Ukraine, according to commercial tracking data. The CSIS Aerospace Security Project hosts a virtual discussion featuring Greg Gillinger, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Development at Integrity ISR, and Clayton Swope, Deputy Director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project. Moderated by Kari Bingen, Director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project, the conversation explores what the tracking data reveal, potential risks to the ICEYE satellite, and options for deterring and responding to hostile actions in space.
