what to expect tomorrow at tc sessions: space 2020

Are you prepared to discover a remarkable array of space-related technologies without leaving your home or workplace? TC Sessions: Space 2020 begins tomorrow, December 16th, and we want to highlight a few of the events, presentations, and discussions scheduled for the first day.

You will have the opportunity to hear from and interact with leading space professionals, including founders, scientists, engineers, and investors from the public, private, and defense sectors. You will gain insights into securing funding to support your ambitions and launch your business.

A pass can still be purchased here before the price increases tomorrow, and we also provide discounts for groups, students, and current military/government personnel. Note: Expo Ticket holders have access only to the exhibition area and the breakout sessions (available as both a live stream and video on demand). If you wish to upgrade your pass to include all main-stage presentations, please contact us at events@techcrunch.com for assistance.

Prepare for launch, everyone. Similar to the OSIRIS-Rex mission, we will present a selection of the day’s events to capture your attention (we’ve presented the information, but haven’t taken it to an extreme!). A comprehensive list of all sessions can be found in the event agenda.

Asteroid Materials and Lunar Missions: We will explore all facets of scientific and civil exploration within our solar system, from robotic systems collecting samples from asteroids to preparations for the return of humans to the Moon. Featuring Lisa Callahan, Vice President & General Manager of Commercial Civil Space at Lockheed Martin Space.

From Space Resource Returns to Financial Gains — A Discussion with Investors: Several investors dedicate their efforts to identifying the next venture capital prospects in the space sector. This market is unique, but does this alter the principles of equity investment? Remember to submit any questions you have for the panel. Participants include Chris Boshuizen (Data Collective DCVC), Mike Collett (Promus Ventures), and Tess Hatch (Bessemer Venture Partners).

Rapid Funding — Collaborating with the Army to Implement Science for Decisive Advantage: Discover more about the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory and the xTech Program, which utilizes prize competitions to accelerate innovative solutions addressing Army needs. Presenters are Peter Khooshabeh (DEVCOM, ARL West) and Ashley Kowalski (The Aerospace Corporation).

Spotlight on Founders: We will be speaking with the founders who are poised to revolutionize the space industry. This session features Will Edwards, CEO of Firehawk Aerospace, a company specializing in the design and production of custom rocket engines.

This is just a small preview of what day one has in store. We have begun the launch sequence and are in the final countdown. Secure your pass today before prices rise, join us at TC Sessions: Space 2020, and chart a course for extraordinary opportunities.
