A top commander at U.S. Space Command says it may be time to establish a "deconfliction channel" between the U.S. and adversary countries to ensure the safety of operations in space.
The Pentagon and international partners are developing guidelines for operating in space, just as international norms govern maritime operations. Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt, the commander of SPACECOM's Combined Force Space Component Command, said those protocols should include being transparent and predictable with countries such as Russia and China.
"I think it's interesting in other domains, particularly with the Russians, we have a high degree of communication," Burt said during an Air Force Association Space Power virtual event Monday.
