July’s Featured Employer:
SpaceX is looking for world-class talent ready to tackle challenging projects that will ultimately enable life on other planets. Hear from Nick Galano, Senior Starlink Enterprise Product Engineer, Space X, as he discusses current projects, what it’s like to work at SpaceX, the recruitment process for internships and employment, and his seven year career journey at SpaceX and how he navigated to land his dream job.
Meet with leaders from across industry, academia, and government to discuss the future of National Security Space priorities and policies. Following the keynote address by Steve Isakowitz, President and CEO of the Aerospace Corporation and a member of the ASCEND Guiding Coalition, interactive panels and workshops will focus on acquisition and innovation, cybersecurity and digital engineering, architectures and infrastructure, and more. This event will also feature a networking and engagement zone devoted to learning about partnership opportunities for launching payloads into space.
Attend a half-day interdisciplinary event featuring lectures, panels, and workshops that will help you stay up to date on trends and technology and form partnerships that will advance space commerce, exploration, and discovery.
ASCEND event registrants will be automatically registered for the ASCENDxSummits and will have exclusive access to additional content.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global workforce has changed significantly. Against this backdrop, other factors, such as working from home, the great resignation, and the arrival of advanced technologies, such as automation and artificial intelligence, continuously impact talent and the workforce. During this session, the obstacles and opportunities related to the U.S. aerospace workforce are revisited through a panel discussion. The envisioned conversation intends to provide an opportunity to gain an industry perspective on some of the pain points and relevant opportunities for the workforce. Observation of historical facts and gaps—where more efforts are needed to nourish talent for invigorating the U.S. aerospace industry—is vital.
This webinar is arranged in collaboration with the AIAA Society and Aerospace Technology Outreach Committee (AIAA SAT OC). AIAA SAT OC regularly investigates the impact of aerospace technology on society. In this context, that impact is considered from the contributions of the U.S. aerospace workforce to state-of-the-art technologies that in turn lead to societal outcomes.

Hosted by the AIAA STEM K-12 Outreach Committee. Meet and hear directly from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) engineers and scientists aboard R/V Atlantis. High school students were able to ask questions and learn about the interaction between disciplines, avenues for careers, and get a tour of the expedition. The webinar featured a direct connection with the team in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska that is currently diving both the crewed Alvin submersible and the robotic Orpheus-class submersibles to map and sample some of the deepest regions on Earth (5000m in the Aleutian trench). Interact with the team collaborating to build and deploy the Orpheus-class vehicles that contribute to Earth-science as well as serve as early pre-cursors for vehicles that might explore ocean worlds beyond the Earth.

Recorded on 19 July, this meeting for AIAA high school student members involves a panel of aerospace professionals discussing their experiences, careers, and advice. The panel is followed by breakout rooms where student members ask questions with the AIAA professional members.
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by InfluxData, and is open to the public.
During this webinar, we’ll explore how Eutelsat Group, a global communications company, harnessed the power of InfluxDB to monitor and analyze telemetry data from its OneWeb constellation of hundreds of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. As Eutelsat Group works to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband access worldwide, managing the vast influx of time series data from its growing satellite network presents unique challenges.
Our speaker will provide a look at Eutelsat Group’s data architecture, discussing how InfluxDB time series database integrates with their existing systems to provide real-time insights into spacecraft health, performance, and network status. We’ll explore the custom dashboards and alerting mechanisms built on top of InfluxDB, enabling Eutelsat Group’s operations team to proactively manage their fleet.

The AIAA Foundation Classroom Grant provides opportunities for teachers to supplement their lesson plans with hands-on STEM activities that engage students in creative and innovative projects.
In this webinar, hear from special panelists, including past recipients, and learn how to write a successful grant application. The webinar is free and available for all K-12 educators to attend.
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by Lumafield, and is open to the public.
Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning offers a non-destructive and highly detailed method of inspecting aerospace, defense, and avionics. It utilizes x-rays and advanced reconstruction techniques to provide intricate 3D visualizations of internal structures. By using CT scanning, manufacturers can meticulously examine composite materials, wiring, seals, connectors, and valves to pinpoint the causes of failures—whether it’s material defects, inconsistencies in manufacturing, or wear-induced damage. Armed with this knowledge, aerospace manufactures can take proactive steps to resolve these issues, ensuring product reliability, patient safety, and preventing expensive recalls.
During this webinar, representatives from Lumafield will discuss the application of CT scanning for inspecting aerospace, defense, and avionics at all stages of the development process, from initial R&D through high-volume production with automated end-to-end workflows.
