Boston Geospatial is bringing ready-to-use geospatial insights to operators and risk managers in the critical infrastructure sectors.

The Microgravity and Space Processes Technical Committee encourages the advancement and public awareness of low-gravity studies in physics, materials, biological sciences and related fields.

The Space Exploration Integration Committee brings together experts on topics relevant to future human and robotic exploration missions.

The American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics' (AIAA's) technical committees form the foundation of AIAA principal activities. Through their constant exchange of information, submittal of position papers, establishment of working groups, and the presentation of national technical conferences, the TCs provide vital support in the gathering and dissemination of current technical information and policies.

Analytical Space is launching a nanosatellite network to provide a secure, reliable, high-speed data connection for Earth observation satellites. By uploading to the network, operators will have access to more of their data in less time, while using their existing hardware.

Every few hours, one Library of Congress worth of data is created on orbit by satellite operators. Analytical Space’s CubeSat hybrid RF-laser data relays will increase data throughput for these satellite operators. By giving our customers more access time for offloading data, the ability to use their existing hardware, and the cost structure of terrestrial communications, space and planetary big data will finally proliferate.

The entrepreneurial lead (EL), typically a postdoctoral researcher, graduate student, or other student, possesses relevant technical knowledge and a deep commitment to investigate the commercial landscape surrounding the innovation. The entrepreneurial lead should also be prepared to support the transition of the technology, should the I-Corps project demonstrate a level of readiness appropriate to leave the academic institution.
