🚀 There’s no deep tech tougher than space tech—and no commercialization frontier more vast than what lies beyond the Kármán line. No one knows that better than The Aerospace Corporation CEO Steve Isakowitz, whose career also spans NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he helped open the door to the commercialization of space, to Virgin Galactic, where he raised $1 billion and positioned the private space venture as a leader in space tourism and micro-gravity research. At SOSV’s Deep Tech Live event on March 27, Isakowitz will join SOSV General Partner Dr. Pae W to discuss the rapid evolution of space tech and the role of startups in shaping the next era of exploration. Aerospace is the leading architect for the nation’s space programs, and Isakowitz leads the team of more than 4,600 who work alongside government and industry partners to outpace threats to the country’s national security while nurturing the innovative technologies needed to further a new era of space commercialization and exploration. This includes a strong focus on enabling new capabilities and helping drive adoption of the innovations coming out of the space startup ecosystem. Let’s talk about space, startups, and the future beyond Earth. Reserve your spot now! 🗓️ Thursday, March 27, 2025 ⏰ 6:00 - 8:30 PM ET 📍 New York City Register to see the location details.

Canaery knows noses, and they have built an olfactory-to-machine interface that is enabling critters with noses much more sensitive than ours to convey data about the presence a host of substances, from the COVID virus to gun power to Fentanyl. No animal training needed. #BuildwithSOSV https://lnkd.in/gS4RbcPJ
