00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:09,449 --> 00:00:11,920
The space economy and the space sector 

3
00:00:12,079 --> 00:00:15,079
has advanced tremendously in the last 

4
00:00:15,079 --> 00:00:18,260
10 years . We're seeing a lot of 

5
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:20,420
entrepreneurs create a ton of 

6
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,940
innovation in the space sector and so 

7
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:24,996
the Space Force would really like to 

8
00:00:24,996 --> 00:00:26,996
get after how do we utilize that if 

9
00:00:26,996 --> 00:00:28,718
possible for mission utility . 

10
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,619
Connecting industry to the government 

11
00:00:32,619 --> 00:00:34,840
is extremely important right now 

12
00:00:34,979 --> 00:00:37,257
because we have to be able to run fast . 

13
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:40,700
Near peer vets are out there , and we 

14
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:42,756
need to be able to take advantage of 

15
00:00:42,756 --> 00:00:45,459
what commercial can bring to bear . So 

16
00:00:45,459 --> 00:00:47,681
the Space Enterprise Consortium has 650 

17
00:00:47,681 --> 00:00:50,939
members under our belt , 80% of those 

18
00:00:50,939 --> 00:00:54,720
being small businesses . Space Forces 

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,529
is the leading investment arm for the 

20
00:00:57,529 --> 00:00:59,569
Space Force . We invest in small 

21
00:00:59,569 --> 00:01:01,291
businesses that are developing 

22
00:01:01,291 --> 00:01:03,402
technology that the Space Force needs 

23
00:01:03,402 --> 00:01:06,169
in the future . Space Systems 

24
00:01:06,169 --> 00:01:08,569
Integration Office , one of our key 

25
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:11,569
activities is to look at how does a 

26
00:01:11,569 --> 00:01:14,209
company come into the ecosystem for the 

27
00:01:14,209 --> 00:01:15,370
space enterprise . 

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,167
My organization actually does a lot of 

29
00:01:22,167 --> 00:01:24,167
the engagement and outreach for the 

30
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:26,940
Space Force to scout this interesting 

31
00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:29,162
technology that we're seeing and trying 

32
00:01:29,162 --> 00:01:31,218
to understand is there a mission fit 

33
00:01:31,218 --> 00:01:34,720
for that technology . So my analysts on 

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,809
any given day are trying to help us 

35
00:01:36,809 --> 00:01:39,300
understand how companies support uh the 

36
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,300
Space Force and our forward leaning 

37
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,580
plans . We see that this source of data 

38
00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:47,089
is helping populate our system with one 

39
00:01:47,089 --> 00:01:49,256
of the strongest sources we're finding 

40
00:01:49,256 --> 00:01:51,980
across the . It's not scary working 

41
00:01:51,980 --> 00:01:54,202
with the government . There are lots of 

42
00:01:54,202 --> 00:01:56,313
people within the government that are 

43
00:01:56,313 --> 00:01:58,313
willing to help your company do the 

44
00:01:58,313 --> 00:02:00,480
best that they can , and I will say it 

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,536
is a community because you will meet 

46
00:02:02,536 --> 00:02:04,758
people that really fall in love with it 

47
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:06,924
and because they're they're so focused 

48
00:02:06,924 --> 00:02:08,960
on our mission . It's been a really 

49
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
great partnership . We love working 

50
