Space exploration is experiencing a renaissance in the Bay Area and “Space Innovation Days”, May 8th-9th, 2015 at the Palace of Fine Arts, is an opportunity to meet the local entrepreneurs and technologists who are making this happen.
“From when I started in 1995 until 2005 or 2006, I didn’t see anything that looked even worth a first meeting. Now it’s very different — there are a whole bunch of them.” — Steve Jurvetson, Bay Area Venture Capitalist in Fortune Magazine (April 28 2014)
Dates/Times: Friday, May 8, 2015, 5 pm – 8 pm — Kick-off and wine-tasting
Saturday, May 9, 2015, 9 am – 5 pm — the Space Entrepreneurs
Location: The San Francisco Innovation Hangar
3301 Lyon Street
Palace of Fine Arts Exhibition Hall
San Francisco, CA 94123
The New Space Industry In the first half of the 20th century, space was once the domain of theorists and experimentalists as well as tinkerers and entrepreneurs who believed that space travel is possible. In a race for national prestige and security, spaceflight suddenly became the domain of large companies and governments.
Today’s entrepreneurial pioneers stand on the shoulders of individuals like Goddard, von Braun, Tsiolkovsky, and others. They are also armed with new technologies such as the mobile devices, cloud computing, and additive manufacturing which did not exist a decade or more ago.
Co-organized by the Silicon Valley Space Center (SVSC) and the Innovation Hangar, “Space Innovation Days” will occur May 8-9 (Fri-Sat), at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. It is a chance to meet some of the Bay area’s new space entrepreneurs and technologists. Frankly, this really is rocket science.
Meet the Innovators The two-day event kicks off on Friday evening with an overview of participating groups, and a wine tasting sponsored by Urthecast. The event will include announcements by the Space Frontier Foundation and overview of its New Space 2015 Conference, to be held July 16-18 in Silicon Valley. SVSC will introduce the event’s participating companies and educational institutions that will speak more on Saturday. All this will be accompanied by Urthecast images from the International Space Station.
Saturday’s activities will provide a chance to interact with participating groups in more detail. Each group will give a brief overview of what they do and be available to interact with event attendees.
The current list of participating companies and institutions includes:
Urthecast – providing live-streaming of the Earth from the International Space Station. ( http://www.urthecast.com)
Ardusat – flying educational cubesats, students and teachers can design and conduct on-orbital space experiments with a host of exciting and accessible sensor packages. Two Ardusat space kits will be awarded to lucky Saturday participants. (https://www.ardusat.com/)
