Council on Foreign Relations

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan think tank and publisher that analyzes and provides recommendations on U.S. foreign policy. In the space industry, CFR focuses on the strategic importance of space, U.S. space leadership, and challenges like growing congestion and potential attacks on satellites. CFR releases reports and organizes task forces to address space-related issues, offering recommendations to policymakers on space security, international cooperation, and space traffic management. They engage with government, private sector, and international stakeholders, including potential adversaries like China and Russia, to promote a secure, sustainable, and peaceful space environment.
