Overview

Join us for the launch of Vets in Space, a program focused on preparing America’s veteran workforce for the future of space technology.

Space is rapidly becoming one of the most critical domains for economic growth, security infrastructure, and global leadership. Vets in Space is designed to equip veterans and military spouses with the skills, networks, and opportunities they need to thrive across the space technology ecosystem.

This initiative builds a national coalition across:

  • Leading companies hiring veterans and military spouses into space-related roles
  • Workforce development and space careers education pathways that align with industry needs
  • The startup ecosystem – innovative companies bringing critical solutions to future space missions

Through strategic partnerships, educational programs, tailored career pathways, and robust entrepreneurship support, Vets in Space helps build the workforce and innovation ecosystem our nation needs for the next era of space exploration.
