Wow. Yesterday’s closing session was jam packed! We started off with Suzy Cunningham, Space Congress/SpaceCom Government Chair introducing Dr. Lee Morin, NASA astronaut and Artemis program SME. Dr. Morin gave a comprehensive update of the Artemis program. There will be a lot of firsts with Artemis ll including an active abort system and it will be a crewed flight (target launch date is April 2026). Next up was the closing keynote, Brandon Burroughs, a Boeing Project Manager supporting NASA’s SLS program at KCS. Mr. Burroughs gave an inspiring talk about his career journey and reminded the audience that every setback in life (and in your career) is an opportunity to move forward. Last but certainly not least, Ryan Brown, Executive Director SpaceCom, expressed heartfelt appreciation to attendees, speakers, sponsors & exhibitors and everyone involved who helped make the event a success. So were you in attendance? What was YOUR favorite session? We hope to see you 2026! #spacecom #spacecom2025 #spacecongress #spacecongress2025 #commercialspace #spaceinspires #NASA #Artemis2

Passion, drive, determination and innovation. We heard it over and over again from the panelists from various NASA centers leading the discussion during the “NASA-led acquisition overview of civilian space mission programs” session. It was a glimpse into the inner workings of a team of outstanding people who work behind the scenes on contracts, procurement, risk mitigation, small business outreach and more. #spacecom #spacecom2025 #spacecongress #spacecongress2025

Dr Proctor took the stage and asked if we had a chance to go to space…would we? If so, what 5 things would we take to space”? If you had a chance, would you go to space? If so, what would be YOUR 5 things? #spacecom #spacecom2025 #spacecongress #spacecongress2025
