Space Foundation, the CompTIA Space Enterprise Council, and the GPS Innovation Alliance

A lunch briefing on the importance of space to the American economy.

Rayburn House Office Building - Room 2325

Space impacts every facet of 21st century life. Business, governance, education, manufacturing, healthcare, communication, and more all rely on space-based infrastructure and the technologies derived from exploring and operating in space.The global space economy is on track to reach $1 trillion, and in the balance sheet of national priorities, space is a critical investment. It yields cascading dividends for job creation, technology transfer, expanded entrepreneurship, international partnerships, shared research and development, and much more. Indeed, space exploration and operation delivers wider opportunity than any effort on the planet—or beyond it.Please join the Space Foundation, CompTIA's Space Enterprise Council, and the GPS Innovation Alliance for a briefing on the impact of space to our national infrastructure. A light lunch will be provided.Speakers: 	Curtis Hay - Technical Fellow, GPS &amp; Maps, General MotorsAjay Mehta - Senior Advisor, NOAA NESDISDeborah Lawrence - Manager, Navigation Programs, Federal Aviation AdministrationCaptain David Sambrano - Flight Operations Duty Manager, United Airlines
