Velocity: 2d SLS Industry Engagement Day
Join us on May 20th for the first Velocity event following SBIR/STTR reauthorization — the 2d SLS Industry Engagement Day. This dynamic forum highlights the critical role of the 2d Space Launch Squadron (2d SLS) in advancing national security space launch operations and accelerating the future of resilient space access.
This crucial engagement day is focused on three key areas: mission integration, mission assurance, and vehicle processing facilities. Industry partners will have a unique opportunity to engage directly with government leadership to gain insight into operational challenges, understand strategic priorities, and help shape the next generation of space launch capabilities.
Attendees will also learn about potential funding and partnership opportunities enabled through the recent SBIR/STTR reauthorization, including pathways for collaboration, innovation, and transition of emerging technologies in support of critical Space Force mission needs.
