TechCrunch Sessions: Space Returns in December

TC Sessions: Space 2021 – A Return to the Final Frontier

Our inaugural space-focused event, TC Sessions: Space, was hosted last year. It showcased prominent figures and innovators within the space industry, including Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck, Lockheed Martin’s Lisa Callahan, Amazon’s Dave Limp, NASA’s Kathy Lueders, and numerous others.

We are pleased to announce the continuation of this event with TC Sessions: Space 2021, scheduled to take place virtually on December 14th and 15th.

Significant Industry Developments

A considerable amount of progress has been made in the space sector since the first TC Sessions: Space event in 2020. This includes a surge in launch activities and a notable expansion of in-space infrastructure.

NASA is increasingly emphasizing its commitment to fostering private sector involvement in replacing the International Space Station as it nears the end of its operational lifespan.

The agency is also collaborating with a growing number of startups to advance public-private partnerships and achieve its goals.

A New Era of Commercial Launch Providers

This year anticipates a significant increase in the number of new commercial launch companies initiating operations.

Companies such as Astra, Relativity Space, and Firefly Aerospace have planned their first commercial or test orbital flights.

The Rise of Space-Based Data

The proliferation of satellite constellations, equipped with advanced sensors, is generating unprecedented amounts of data.

This data provides detailed insights for commercial applications on Earth, creating a unique opportunity for startups to capitalize on a new “data gold rush.”

What to Expect at TC Sessions: Space

TC Sessions: Space will delve into the evolving launch market and the potential of utilizing the expanding wealth of data derived from space-based sources.

Discussions will focus on making this data readily accessible for practical applications on Earth.

Furthermore, the event will explore the future of human space exploration and the importance of ensuring safe and continued access to space for all.
