What architecture is needed; how can policy better support? From automation enabled by robotics and AI, to the rising importance of space mobility and data, assuring access to space is moving forward.  Learn more with Mr Randolph Kendall (VP, Launch & Architecture Operations, Aerospace Corporation) and Major General Stephen Purdy (USSF), Program Executive Officer for Assured Access to Space; Commander, Space Launch Delta 45; Director of Launch and Range Operations, Space Systems Command; and Director of the Eastern Range.
