In July, Aerospace joined space industry leaders and innovators at AIAA's Ascend in Las Vegas to shape the future of space. Aerospace was at the forefront of this transformative event, exchanging ideas, forging new relationships, and inspiring the next generation of professionals.
“It's been an incredible opportunity for Aerospace to share our new innovations and collaborate technically with others,” said Kevin Bell, Senior Vice President of the Engineering and Technology Group at Aerospace.
Aerospace contributed to forward-thinking discussions across a range of key topics, from developing public and private partnerships to collaborating on a global scale.
“It was a great opportunity to hear some of the leaders in space,” said Debra Emmons, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Aerospace. “They were really all speaking to the theme about commercial space and how important it is for sustaining the space ecosystem.
As a connector and convener for the space industry, Aerospace brings together diverse perspectives to explore new opportunities and tackle emerging challenges.
“Not one country can do this alone,” said Ashley Kowalski, Project Leader in International Partnerships at Aerospace. “We really do need to rely on our allies and partners.”
Aerospace's participation included a series of enlightening panels and technical paper presentations, providing a unique opportunity to explore the latest technology and trends, foster discussions and collaborations to solve problem and advance innovation.
“At Ascend, Aerospace is in a great position to be able to lead conversations that will bring different opportunities or different opinions and perspectives together.
Opportunities like ASCEND enables Aerospace to more impactfully drive important decisions, harness innovation and accelerate integration across the space enterprise.
“It's important that we're part of these conversations, part of these panels, leading them in some kind of way in order to be a leader in this industry,” said Emily Hardy, who works in Commercial Program Development at Aerospace.
