White House website includes space security issues in agenda

The Obama Administration has been continually updating its website over the past few days. Among the updates are agenda items related to space security, including a reevaluation of national security space:

"The Obama-Biden Administration will restore American leadership on space issues, seeking a worldwide ban on weapons that interfere with military and commercial satellites. They will thoroughly assess possible threats to U.S. space assets and the best options, military and diplomatic, for countering them, establishing contingency plans to ensure that U.S. forces can maintain or duplicate access to information from space assets and accelerating programs to harden U.S. satellites against attack."

The Secure World Foundation will continue to monitor developments from the White House and Congress on matters of space governance.
