On a recent trip to Seattle , CMSo , 

3
00:00:06,769 --> 00:00:08,825
along with partners from Space Works 

4
00:00:08,825 --> 00:00:11,220
and Space Force headquarters , visited 

5
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:13,498
several commercial vendors in the area . 

6
00:00:13,498 --> 00:00:15,498
Each of these stakeholders brings a 

7
00:00:15,498 --> 00:00:17,720
unique perspective to industry visits , 

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,942
and these shared visits help to promote 

9
00:00:19,942 --> 00:00:22,053
collaboration . We need to understand 

10
00:00:22,053 --> 00:00:24,164
what industry partners . Partners are 

11
00:00:24,164 --> 00:00:26,387
building , how mature the technology is 

12
00:00:26,387 --> 00:00:28,276
and how commercial businesses are 

13
00:00:28,276 --> 00:00:30,276
organized and executed . There's no 

14
00:00:30,276 --> 00:00:30,239
better way to do this than to walk 

15
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:32,520
factory floors , see the work in 

16
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,798
progress , and hear directly from them . 

17
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,056
Seattle's an impressive ecosystem of 

18
00:00:37,056 --> 00:00:39,056
space startups and commercial space 

19
00:00:39,056 --> 00:00:41,279
powerhouses . It was impressive to see 

20
00:00:41,279 --> 00:00:43,840
a snapshot of what's going on there and 

21
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,951
understand how Space System Command's 

22
00:00:45,951 --> 00:00:48,118
commercial Space Office can help these 

23
00:00:48,118 --> 00:00:50,284
companies break down barriers to entry 

24
00:00:50,284 --> 00:00:52,007
and deliver capability for the 

25
00:00:52,007 --> 00:00:54,062
warfighter . This was the first in a 

26
00:00:54,062 --> 00:00:55,729
series of visits COSO will be 

27
00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:57,784
conducting with COMSo set to visit a 

28
00:00:57,784 --> 00:00:59,896
commercial hub near you in the coming 

29
00:00:59,896 --> 00:00:59,880
months .
