The New Space Age:
Beyond Global Order

New Report and Thought Pieces from
Perry World House

In the weeks leading up to Perry World House’s workshop on The New Space Age in May this year, it became clear just how rapidly the space domain is growing and changing. China landed a rover on Mars, becoming the second country to operate on the Red Planet; in the United States, a new administrator took the helm at NASA; Russia announced it would leave the International Space Station; SpaceX successfully landed its Starship SN15 prototype; and the world watched the uncontrolled re-entry of the Chinese Long March 5B rocket, which plunged into the Indian Ocean and reignited a global debate on responsible state behavior in space.

The world is entering a “New Space Age,” one that will bring many challenges and opportunities— but academia and policymakers alike are struggling to keep up. A new report from Perry World House looks at innovative policy solutions in four key areas—public-private cooperation, military and competition, economic opportunities, and international law and global governance.
