The new CNTR Fact Sheet by Dr. Sarah McKee (CNTR/PRIF) sheds light on how space resilience can be achieved, highlighting the crucial role of ground stations. In addition, it introduces the policy debate on space systems as critical infrastructure.
The Fact Sheet on space resilience is part of CNTR's Fact Sheet series. The Fact Sheets are published on a regular basis to make the project's research findings available to a wider audience and to counteract disinformation. These short-format publications provide facts and figures as well as short explanations on CNTR’s research topics. CNTR Fact Sheets are available as open-access publications on our website.
