In 2023 , Space Northwest took on new programs with national and international reach . In April , we partnered with OneRedmond and the City of Kent on the regional workshop for the State of the Space Industrial Base ( SSIB ) conference . A program of NewSpace Nexus , the Defense Innovation Unit ( DIU ), U . S . Space Force and the Air Force Research Lab , the workshop gathered experts from nearby and across the country on the topics of Hybrid Space Architecture and Advanced Power and Propulsion . Held at the Museum of Flight , the event featured an intro from Brigadier General Steve “ Bucky ” Butow , space portfolio pirector of DIU , and a keynote from Rob Meyerson of Delalune Space . Participants identified opportunities and challenges for government stakeholders to address in each topic area . Space Northwest presented the results at SSIB ’ s national conference in Albuquerque , New Mexico , in May . Findings will be published in a widely-read white paper in September .
Reaching even further beyond the region , in April , Space Northwest held our first Connecting Space Ecosystems virtual event with Aerospace Auckland of New Zealand .
