The Space Innovation and Development Center, located at Schriever AFB, Colo., conducts the event, which runs through Wednesday, at Nellis AFB, Nev. There are approximately 350 participants—mostly US military and civilian experts, but also some representatives from Australia, Britain, and Canada. The wargame’s goal is to explore critical space issues that the US expects to face circa 2022.
