Southern California Space & Defense Tech Tour

​We are coordinating tours with four frontier companies defining the next era of energy, advanced manufacturing, and orbital infrastructure. We would be pleased to have you join us. Exact locations, scheduling, and additional details will be shared with all registered attendees.

​Antares Industries
Antares is developing transportable nuclear microreactors engineered for resilient, high-density power in places where conventional infrastructure cannot operate—from remote terrestrial sites to subsea environments and future off-world missions. Their approach represents a new class of compact, autonomous energy systems capable of supporting critical operations anywhere.

​Valar Atomics
Valar Atomics is building gigasites designed to mass-produce modular reactors at unprecedented scale, enabling industrial-grade power, cost-efficient hydrogen production, and clean synthetic fuels. Their model aims to unlock a new atomic industrial base that strengthens long-term energy resilience and supports next-generation manufacturing capacity.

​Varda Space Industries
Varda operates orbital manufacturing platforms that produce pharmaceuticals and advanced materials impossible to create under Earth’s gravity. Through microgravity-enabled crystallization and rapid return-to-Earth logistics, Varda is transforming space into a commercially viable production environment with immediate terrestrial applications.

​Vast Space
Vast is designing modular commercial space stations built for sustained human presence and industrial activity in orbit. Their stations will support research, manufacturing, and future habitation, forming the structural backbone of the emerging orbital economy and expanding humanity’s operational reach in space.
