The Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) has created the Cislunar Affinity Group to address security concerns that the United States and other nations may face as they increase civil exploration and peaceful use of the moon, Mars, and other astronomical objects.
“The idea with this group is to provide a collaborative platform to known cislunar stakeholders, as well as potential stakeholders. There are many actors, while not yet actively involved, that are expressing interest and recognizing that they will have a role to play in cislunar space and the return to the moon,” said MITRE's Gabrielle Hedrick, an aerospace engineer who leads the new group.
