The Palestine Space Institute 2026 Workshop – Bringing Humanity to the Stars – invited participants to collaborate on critical analysis of the space sector. I participated in sessions on Space Governance and Praxis in July.
Please see their incredible work on themes of Demilitarization of Space, Decoupling Defense and Space, and Space for Palestine. They have developed a database on space and the military-industrial complex and spacewashing. Support, connect, and share their work!

“The Palestine Space Institute (PSI) is a pioneering and visionary think tank that stands at the forefront of space ethics and the responsible use of outer space. Established with a mission to advocate for the peaceful and ethical exploration of space, PSI is committed to decoupling defense from space, safeguarding space technologies and applications, promoting the demilitarization of space, and using space to advocate for justice. At the heart of PSI’s mission is a dedication to the principles of peace, cooperation, and sustainability in space exploration. This innovative institute seeks to reshape the narrative surrounding space, striving to ensure that outer space remains a domain for the betterment of all humanity rather than a perpetuation of conflict and militarization. Through research, policy development, advocacy, and international partnerships, PSI strives to shape a future where space serves as a beacon of hope and global unity. By championing ethical practices and fostering a shared commitment to the peaceful use of outer space, PSI is dedicated to creating a sustainable and peaceful future for humanity, both on Earth and beyond.”
