    This space policy exercise will focus on developing an understanding of the complexities involved towards building an effective space program. Participants will be divided into teams of 10 with specific roles assigned to each player. Individual teams will respond to the scenario provided to them and develop a U.S. space policy that prioritizes and lists which space technologies/capabilities are required to maintain U.S. primacy in space. Participants will dwell into inter-agency processes as well as utilize multi stake-holder negotiations that are part and parcel of space policy development.
