Innovation in Aerospace | A Workshop
The Workshop examined the challenges, lessons, and applicability of the information technology industry's practices for the aerospace community and the experience that innovative firms have had in working with government agencies. Two of the presentations have been put online after the event. Panel I covered "Introducing Silicon Valley to Aerospace" and Panel II covered "Public-Private Partnerships".
Government, Aerospace & Space Industry Knowledge
An introductory short course will be presented for non-industry attendees that covers the basic information needed to understand the Aerospace & Space industries and their relationship to government and supply-chain issues. Taught by an expert and specialist in these areas from CSA.
CubeSat Community Website - Developers' Workshop 2009
The next CubeSat Developer's Workshop is coming to San Luis Obispo, Apr 22-25th. New "nanosat" development and flight opportunities are emerging within the academic, industry and government sectors, and are now global in scope.

CANEUS 2009 Workshops - NASA Ames Research Center
“A highly-formatted workshop will be held with a focus on commercialization of advanced technologies in the areas of: small satellites, fly-by-wireless, micro-energetics, optoelectronics, harsh environment sensors, and reliability. The end result will be a neutral virtual business model for international collaboration that brings the best solutions to the boardroom so that well-informed decisions on new program starts, whether it be research, test and evaluation, or introduction of new products to the end user can be made quickly and confidently.” Detailed information is available for this event on this site.
Space 3.0 - Emerging Commercial Applications for Small Satellites
“Radical advances in small satellite technology are fast approaching, which will allow innovators to create from today’s “garages” powerful consumer and commercial nanosatellites. This new era of entrepreneurial space will create a market where companies and educational groups can design, build and operate small, highly functional spacecraft (eSats). Join SEF Spaceworks, Stanford University, Aviation Week and other sponsors on March 24 in Palo Alto, California for a unique workshop exploring the emerging commercial and educational uses and applications for these eSats. Space is limited so register now.”
Sustainable Urban Development: Facing Challenges in the SF Bay Region with Support by the NASA Ames Research Center
“The key workshop goal is to explore and document how NASA technologies, such as remote sensing, climate modeling, high end computing and visualization along with NASA assets such as Earth Observing Satellites and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles can contribute to creating and managing a sustainable urban environment. This will be accomplished by bringing together NASA scientists, city planners, local, state and federal resource agencies, utilities, businesses, and others who are involved in managing aspects of the urban environment. The focus will be on the greater Bay Area, but many aspects of the workshop will be applicable to urban management at the local, regional and global scales.”
Space Investment Summit (SIS) 6
SIS-6, the next in the series of Summits will be titled “The NewSpace Frontier: Down-to-Earth Market Opportunities” and address the connection between the existing hospitality industry and the emerging space tourism industry. Presentations will focus on the latest developments in the rapidly growing space tourism industry (vehicles, funding, destinations, timeframes, numbers of customers and more), as well as new cross-industry business opportunities. The agenda, when ready, will be posted at the above URL.
Space Investment Summit (SIS) 5
“SIS-5 hosted entrepreneurs and investors at the Luxe Hotel. The Summit welcomed keynote speaker, Steve Jervetson, Managing Director of Draper Fisher Jervetson, a leading venture firm with affiliate offices around the world. In addition, the Summit featured nine pre-screened entrepreneurial business plans from companies with significant growth potential. Entrepreneurs gained from an increased investor interest in their efforts and established companies benefited by promoting development of new opportunities for partnership with entrepreneurial companies.” The agenda, brief speaker bios, brief business plan intros and some presentations can be found at the above URL.
Space Investment Summit (SIS) 4
“SIS 4 hosted entrepreneurs and investors at the Capital Hilton Hotel to engage in a frank dialogue about the best investment opportunities in new space-related ventures. The Summit came at an exciting time…with space startups like Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and Elon Musk’s SpaceX nearing commercial operation, while space-related ventures like Google Earth and Garmin expand to reach global markets.” The agenda, speaker bios and some presentations can be found at the above URL.
