Judy Knox's Expertise
Region of Expertise
For the duration of this Capstone Project, I will be working on the applicable
Laws, Treaties and Policies affecting or affected by the Orbital Debris problem, because
this has been the most interesting and challenging aspect of space, at least to me. Ad-
ditionally, I'll be developing the financial planning aspects of this project, mostly be-
cause of my background, but also because nobody else would do it. I'm also the Team
Captain.
