Brian Weeden presents at 2008 UCS Summer Symposium

SWF technical consultant Brian Weeden just returned from the Union of Concerned Scientist's Summer Symposium 2008. This 8-day event brings together a mix of younger and more experienced international technical researchers in the security field, with focus on PhD graduates starting their post-doctoral work. 35 participants from 12 countries attended the event, each giving a 45-minute presentation on their current or proposed area of research. Focus was on not only the technical content but also the policy implications of the work. Brian gave presentations on both an overview of the space security field and one of his current research topics, Sun-synchronous zoning. Overall, the event was a huge success with many new ideas and relationships emerging between different technical security researchers from different countries.
