Closing Remarks

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.

AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition (AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum)

 

The 2020 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum will be held as a virtual conference in an online-only format 24–26 August.  Information on the schedule, specific content, format, registration, refunds, and many other details will be available in the coming weeks. We appreciate your patience as we finalize the details for this virtual event.

AIAA recognizes that the face-to-face meeting is ideal for sharing research, ideas, and convening the community. Given the current challenges posed by COVID-19, we feel that the virtual forum format provides the best opportunity for the AIAA community to meet and share information. By removing some of the barriers to traditional forum attendance, including travel costs and time, the virtual forum format will enable greater participation from the aerospace community—traditional and nontraditional. We are excited to use this new format to accomplish AIAA’s mission of helping aerospace professionals and their organizations succeed.

Please follow @AIAA on Twitter for real-time updates. Should you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
