Space security hearing postponed

[Update: the hearing has been postponed “until further notice”, according to the committee’s web site]

The House Armed Services Committee Strategic Forces subcommittee is holding a hearing this afternoon on “space and U.S. security”, according to the brief description on the committee’s web site. The hearing is at 3 pm EDT in Rayburn 2212 and should be webcast. The witnesses:

Mr. Bruce W. MacDonald
Author of recent Council on Foreign Relations study on China, space weapons, and U.S. security

Mr. Michael Krepon
Co-founder
The Henry L. Stimson Center

Major General James Armor, USAF (Ret.)
Owner and CEO
The Armor Group, LLC

A timely topic given how some have tried to portray last month’s Iridium-Cosmos satellite collision as either a deliberate act by the US or a deliberate act by Russia.
