Ep. 6 The Militarization of Commercial Space: When Commercial Satellites Become Strategic Assets | Victoria Samson

In this episode of Space to Ground, a podcast by Remos Space Systems, our host Omkar Nikam sits down with Victoria Samson, from Secure World Foundation, to discuss the growing militarization of commercial space

As governments, militaries, and critical industries increasingly depend on commercial space infrastructure, the line between civilian and military space is rapidly blurring. What does this mean for the future of the global space economy? And how secure is commercial space in an era of growing geopolitical competition?

In this episode of Space to Ground, the podcast by Remos Space Systems, host Omkar Nikam sits down with Victoria Samson, Chief Director of Space Security & Stability at the Secure World Foundation, to discuss the growing militarization of commercial space and the emerging risks facing the industry.

In this episode, we explore:
• Why commercial satellites have become strategically important
• The growing militarization of space and its geopolitical implications
• Counterspace threats, including jamming, cyberattacks, and anti-satellite weapons
• Whether commercial space assets could become targets in future conflicts
• The future of space security, governance, and international norms

As the boundaries between commercial and military space continue to blur, understanding these challenges is essential for industry leaders, policymakers, and anyone shaping the future of the space sector.

The episode is now live on all major podcast platforms and YouTube.

Tune in and join the conversation on one of the most important issues facing the global space industry today.
