The ASCEND Conference was recently held in Las Vegas from October 23-25. ASCEND stands for Accelerating Space Commerce, Exploration, and New Discovery. ASCEND is an interdisciplinary space event where the international space community—along with adjacent industries interested in pursuing an off-world future—come together to bring humankind closer to living and working in space. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) proudly puts on this event annually, and Valcor enjoyed exhibiting and meeting with all the attendees!
