Opportunities in Orbit: Building the Future of Space with Industry Fireside
Earlier this year, the U.S. Space Force published its highly anticipated Commercial Space Strategy, laying out its blueprint for leveraging the American private sector to bolster the nation’s space capabilities and maintain our country’s competitive advantage in space. Join TechnoMile for a fireside chat with Col. Richard Kniseley, the Senior Materiel Leader overseeing the Commercial Space Office (COMSO), as we discuss how this strategy aims to accelerate innovation and collaboration with the commercial sector and the huge opportunities this creates for businesses of all sizes in the traditional space industry and beyond.
Attendees will gain insights from Col. Kniseley on topics such as:
- How does the strategy fast-track the paradigm shift to “buy before build” for space capabilities and support operating at the “speed of need?”
- What are some of the newer mission areas where Space Force seeks collaboration with industry?
- What opportunities exist for brand new participants in the space market (e.g., those who are space mission enablers)?
- How are COMSO and the USSF partnering with industry to acquire greater situational awareness of commercial space solutions?
