Huntsville, Ala., will be hosting its 25th annual Space & Military Defense Symposium Aug. 9-11. Two thousand attendees will be at the von Braun Civic Center, which will be full of the latest space defense technology and one general in the spotlight. The general is U.S. Space Command Commanding Gen. James Dickinson, a scheduled briefer. His command is awaiting a final decision on making Huntsville the permanent HQ for Space Command at Redstone Arsenal. That final decision is expected soon from the Secretary of the Air Force. Dickinson knows how to handle media queries and congressional panels, and he knows Huntsville. He commanded the U.S. Army Space and Missile Command in Huntsville until leaving for his present assignment in Colorado in 2019. This year’s symposium has registered nearly 600 industry executives and another 400 people from government and academia. NASA will also be at the symposium, and that’s a hat tip to the agency focused on peaceful exploration of space. Everyone respects NASA, but the symposium’s focus is defense and military space. Panel discussions, exhibits and briefings will be about the latest priorities for defending the ultimate high ground. Industry representatives want to hear what requirements are going to be in the future for potential contracts. (Source: AL.com 08/05/22) Space Command general to address Huntsville in August - al.com
