In Florida, businesses can take their place in the new space economy, or any other aerospace market, with direct access to established infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and an environment built for innovation. 🚀 #FLEconDevWeek24 #economicdevelopment #workforce #jobs #economy #workforcedevelopment #development #future #growth #investment #aerospace #aerospaceindustry #aviation #aviationindustry #nasa #economicdevelopment #economicgrowth #space #spaceindustry #spaceinnovation Florida Economic Development Council Space Florida

Fantastic interview with my fellow Slingshooter, Melissa Quinn. If you're interested in the "what" and "why" for Slingshot, here it is. I recommend watching the full video!

I was honored to be a speaker at the 39th Space Symposium last week, and many thanks to my good friend and colleague Troy Thomas at Boston Consulting for sponsoring the panel. During the panel, I advocated for the USG to provide a pathway for on-orbit operational demonstrations of new space tech through a regular cadence of dedicated launches to showcase such capabilities. Such “innovation” launches would help address the issue of flight heritage, one of the biggest obstacles to getting new space tech adopted. A very large portion of the space innovation economy is locked out of paying for their own demonstrations due to costs, and nearly all USG R&D grant programs simply aren’t sufficient to both develop needed tech and pay for a launch to demo it. This deprives our space forces from seeing and choosing from the most cutting-edge emerging capabilities they could use. The non-space part of the DoD is rich in opportunities for innovation and experimentation in operationally relevant environments, and as such, enjoys a far more rapid uptake of new capabilities when compared to our forces in space. The US can never allow itself to be in a fair fight—we must always have a technological edge over our adversaries, particularly in space. Perhaps SPACEWERX can offer such a service to the appropriate performers as part of the SBIR program? #SPACEWERX #DIU #space #innovation #USSF #SDA #AFWERX

Really looking forward to hearing your insights on the panel about the importance of interfaces, standardization and modular infrastructure in space.

There is stiff competition in the field of space technology as several commercial companies are striving to make their mark in space exploration.

🌎Everyday can be Earth Day, but let's all plan to celebrate together on April 22! 🌳Need resources for your classroom or event?

“I think it's fair to say we're facing a software crisis in aerospace." In this conversation with Phillip Buckendorf, CEO of Air Space Intelligence, he discusses the challenges, and potential solutions, for managing an increasingly complex yet essential airspace.
