Aerospace Perspectives Series: Integrating Commercial Innovation Into National Space Missions
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by SAIC, and is open to the public.
Space leaders in the federal government want and need the innovations and speed recognized by the commercial sector, but at what cost? As mission owners look to maintain resiliency, rigor, and responsibility, there is a need for mission integration. That integration pulls from the best commercial offerings while ensuring the mission owner retains sovereignty of their data and ultimate responsibility for the safety of their assets and people.
This webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities faced by federal space leaders as they partner with industry to integrate innovation into vital missions of national importance.
Moderator:
Matt Hungerford
Chief Technology Officer, SAIC
Panelists:
Maj. Gen. Dennis Bythewood
Special Assistant to the Chief of Space Operations, U.S. Space Force
Christyl C. Johnson
Deputy Director for Technology & Research Investments, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Stephen Volz
Assistant Administrator for Satellite and Information Services and Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Environmental Observation and Prediction, NOAA
This webinar is free of charge and is open to the public. Registered attendees will receive a post-event email to access the on-demand recording.
