Sponsored Session Highlights

Fast Money, Team Space: Company Concept, Capital and Customers — Innovation and disruptive technologies are increasingly prevalent in the space sector. However, a strong technical foundation alone isn't sufficient for long-term success. Securing both capital and customers is vital for market expansion.

The transition from initial concept to the development stage is more likely to succeed with access to stable funding and potential, long-term clients. This session – featuring Jordan Noone (Embedded Ventures) and Chris O’Connor (Harpoon Ventures) – will explore how a startup successfully identified suitable venture partners and secured prototyping and testing opportunities with the U.S. government. Presented by The Aerospace Corporation.

Securing Space at Speed — The U.S. government recognizes the need to accelerate the development of innovative commercial capabilities to maintain leadership in the evolving space domain.

Hear directly from Steve Isakowitz (The Aerospace Corporation), Pete Muend (NRO Commercial Systems Program Office) and Tim Trimailo (Blackjack/CASINO, SSC/DCIR) – key figures driving government-commercial partnerships – about opportunities to advance the next generation of space achievements. Presented by The Aerospace Corporation.

How Tech Startups Do Business with the DoD and U.S. Space Force — Sam Riehn (SBIR Advisors Inc.) will outline the primary challenges technology startups encounter when collaborating with the Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Space Force.

He will detail strategies for overcoming these obstacles and securing substantial contracts through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Presented by SBIR Advisors Inc.

University Showcase: New Frontiers in Space Exploration From OSAM to xGEO — The decreasing size and cost of space technology are enabling broader participation from countries, universities, and individuals.

Over the past decade, we’ve witnessed the launch of thousands of small satellites from numerous new space developers. What’s next for on-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (OSAM) and orbital debris removal as small spacecraft expand beyond Earth orbit and the geostationary belt (xGEO) into cis-lunar space and onto the lunar surface?

This showcase features university pioneers in space exploration, including Jonathan Black (Virginia Tech), Dr. Debra L. Emmons (The Aerospace Corporation), Kathleen C Howell (Purdue University), Moriba Jah (The University of Texas at Austin) and Ricardo Sanfelice (University of California). Discover future advancements and how you can contribute. Learn about the technologies shaping a future where OSAM, xGEO, and “cis-lunar” become commonplace terms. Presented by The Aerospace Corporation.
