Professor Jack Beard became one of the founding leaders of an international project, the Woomera Manual on the International Law of Military Space Operations, which aims to articulate and clarify the law applicable to military activities associated with the space domain. The project is sponsored by two Australian universities, the Nebraska College of Law, and one British university. The Manual’s name is drawn from the village of Woomera, Australia, which has a long association with both Australian and multi-national military space operations. Beard participated in the first workshop of core experts that began drafting the Woomera Manual in Exeter, England. He also moderated two panels of experts addressing space law issues at the 3rd Annual U.S. Strategic Command Advanced Operational Law Conference.
