Access Replay

Join us for “AIAA Spring Hypersonics Webinar,” presented by Sarah Popkin, and hosted by the AIAA HyTASP Technical Committee. This webinar sets the stage for understanding DARPA’s role and function in the Department of Defense. To create or prevent strategic surprise, DARPA empowers program managers to develop new, high-risk ideas to advance U.S. technical capability. In space, a new domain called very low Earth orbit (VLEO) is being researched at DARPA across three programs. Those programs and the additional technical and fundamental physics challenges to consider when operating in VLEO will be highlighted

AIAA SciTech Forum 2026

The AIAA SciTech Forum program covers the science, technologies, and policies that are shaping the future of aerospace. The forum is the largest event for aerospace research, development, and technology in the world.

HYSKY 2025 H2Hub Summit: Meet the Winners

The HYSKY Society is thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual H2Hub Summit, scheduled for March 19, 2025. Last year, the summit embarked on a groundbreaking journey by uniting all seven DOE-selected Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs and a passionate community committed to forging a sustainable, hydrogen-powered future. Together, we laid actionable pathways for clean hydrogen to decarbonize key sectors and drive significant reductions in U.S. carbon emissions.
