BEYOND EARTH: The Future of Humanity in Space - Emerging from the Synergies of the Pacific Northwest
About us
The Pacific Northwest's Space Industry Played a Key Role in the Genesis of Space Exploration and into the 21st Century. Space Northwest Aims to Keep it That Way. The future of humanity points to space – to open new frontiers, preserve our fragile planet, and bring us together. From the early days of the Apollo program to the achievements of innovators such as Blue Origin and SpaceX, space has inspired young professionals in the Pacific Northwest to pursue STEM careers and created technologies that we rely upon every day. Space Northwest seeks to build upon the rich legacy of the Pacific Northwest’s more than 60-year space economy through innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship and build bridges to innovative careers for all. We seek to strengthen and grow the Pacific Northwest’s established and developing space communities and attract new space interests. Through coordinated efforts with key stakeholders, we will advance a set of 12 strategic objectives that cover entrepreneurship, workforce development, marketing, and public relations, academic and corporate partnerships, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). Initially, Space Northwest activities will be conducted across Washington state, later expanding into the three contiguous states and one non-contiguous state in the region making up the Pacific Northwest: Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska, respectively. From inception, our various programs will focus on local, state, and regional communities. Over time, we will establish both national and global reach with our messaging and engagement. WA state’s space ecosystem is viewed globally as a growing and evolving commercial space economy positioned for accelerated growth over near-and-longer terms. Washington’s space community enjoys a strong and engaged multi-sector system made up of large, medium, and small established OEMs; start-ups; suppliers; higher education; research facilities; training facilities and more.

The State of the Space Industrial Base (SSIB) main conference in Albuquerque was an amazing gathering filled with insightful speakers and dynamic discussions both on stage and off. This conference aims to generate recommendations that bolster our nation’s economic prosperity and security in space. Reflecting on progress since last year and the energy and determination in the rooms, it's clear that, though the road is long, we are steadily advancing towards goals. Space Northwest president, Michael Doyle, joined the stage with other members of the Space Industrial Leadership Council. He also moderated a “co-innovation session” on Advanced Space Power and Propulsion with Peter Garretson and AFRL's James Winter. Steve Nixon and Michael C. of the Outernet Council ran a co-innovation session on the Outernet. Both topics will be in focus at when we dive in at our Seattle workshop, Jun 12-13 — part of Space Week in Seattle. We are deeply grateful to our partners at NewSpace Nexus, Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Air Force Research Laboratory, United States Space Force and all the thoughtful and dedicated individuals from government and industry who make this conference so inspiring and impactful. #2024SSIB #ABQ #space #defense #commercialspace Casey Anglada DeRaad | Erika Woldman Hecht, CEO Market Ascent | Arial DeHerrera | Andrew MacKenzie | Jordan DeRaad | Scott Sadler | Scott Maethner | Carter Breckenridge | Steve Butow | Sean Mahoney | Steven R.

Couldn't agree more! SSIB's 2024 Main Conference has been full of insights, thoughtful discussions and great new connections. We are super excited to bring this energy to our Seattle workshops on the Outernet and Advanced Space Power and Propulsion Jun 12-13!
Our 2024 State of the Space Industrial Base Conference has been a hit so far! Attendees of all kinds of industry sectors have come far and wide for what this week-long conference offers. 🚀 During our preconference, current Ignitor Elite companies had a chance to present their pitches and we celebrated graduating companies at every level of the program. Thank you for attending to accelerate company innovation even further. The biggest base of information has come from our speakers-- Those who attended in-person or virtually yesterday heard from Colonel Jeremy Raley, Colonel Richard Kniseley, Colonel Joe Roth, Diane Howard, Namrata Goswami, Ilsa Mroz, Erin Vaughan, Muk Pandian, and more in the main room. Thank you so much to these speakers for sharing their insights and understanding in the effort of revealing and changing the future of the Space Industrial Base and defense for the better! There are still many professionals to hear from today and tomorrow on a variety of topics to directly address challenges and applications to critical sectors. We look forward to hearing from Steven R. E. Jordan Tomaszewski, Peter Wegner, Chris Quilty, Richard Scott Erwin, Robert S. Katz, Steve Nixon, Michael Cheng, and Casey Anglada DeRaad today in co-innovation sessions. Speaking today to attendees are Derek Tournear, Travis Langster, and Steve Butow prior to a panel from SpaceFund on the Capital Landscape for Space. Many thanks to the Air Force Research Laboratory, Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), SpaceForce, and all New Mexico Space Valley Coalition companies for your contributions to this event. 💥 Several co-innovation sessions take place in the main plenary room today. Working Groups meet longer from 2pm-5pm, in their respective meeting rooms. The feedback from our surveys in the plenary and co-innovation sessions are incredibly helpful to direct our discussions and improve on this conference as we continue. We love what attendees have to say-- please keep completing surveys as they arise. Here's to a great week full of discourse and learning! #2024SSIB Have any media you feel should be shared with the team?
