Submit your abstracts for the 2025 ASCEND Technical Paper Call on Space Healthcare (Humans In Space) to acquire unparalleled opportunities! Selected abstracts will be eligible to apply for the HIS Challenge Orbital Launch Funding, which supports on-orbit research and will automatically advance to the 2nd round of evaluation, ensuring a streamlined process for further consideration. Additionally, successful applicants will be invited to present their innovative ideas at the 2025 ASCEND Conference. This year, we encourage submissions focusing on two key areas: improving astronaut health during space missions and leveraging the unique microgravity environment to drive groundbreaking research with potential applications for Earth-based healthcare. If you are a researcher dedicated to advancing both in-space and terrestrial healthcare, apply now to contribute to sustainable multi-planetary human life and seize exclusive opportunities. The application will close on November 21, and click here to APPLY NOW: https://lnkd.in/gPr98DFD #2025ASCENDCallForTechnicalPaper #HumansInSpace #ASCEND #Space #Healthcare #Research #Opportunities - ⏳ The countdown is on for 2025 ASCENDxTexas! Progress to achieve Human Space Exploration for LEO, Lunar, and Beyond, is dependent on strategic alignment across all stakeholders.

#ICYMI: I was recently asked to chair a Space Sustainability Task Force with the AIAA , and we're off to a brilliant start. We’ve already had about 50 volunteers join from all around the world! One key question we’re exploring: How can we incorporate the wisdom of Indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge into our approach to space sustainability? What does it really mean to be a steward of our space environment, and how do we apply those principles to keep space sustainable for future generations? I’m really looking forward to diving into this work and sharing the journey with you all. Booya! 🤙🏾https://lnkd.in/eyg5vApc #SpaceSustainability #TaskForce #aiaa #sustainability - 📣 It's almost time! This week, we reveal some of the industry's most distinguished leaders as speakers at 2025 ASCENDxTexas. You don't want to miss this... Follow us and stay tuned

🛰️ The orbital highway is filling up fast, and single-use satellites are pushing us toward a crisis. Fact: Single-use satellites are like the early days of plastic—revolutionary and cheap, but ultimately disposable. And look where that got us: Earth is littered with single-use plastics, with only a small fraction actually recycled (about 9% GLOBALLY!) Today’s “launch and leave” model for satellites mirrors this mindset, creating "space litter" that threatens sustainability in orbit. We need a circular space economy where we design satellites for modularity, repair, and recycling to keep orbits sustainable, instead of letting them die on orbit and become someone else's problem. As chair of the AIAA Space Sustainability Task Force, I'm committed to this shift. Together, with diverse insights from everything from decision intelligence to traditional ecological knowledge, we can protect space as a resource for future generations. The time to act is now. Level ⬆️!🤙🏾 Read this month's full article at Aerospace America magazine (AIAA) at the link below.https://lnkd.in/eg5Q6wBX #space #sustainability #spaceeconomy #circulareconomy #celestialstewardship - 📣 This is your chance to make your mark in the aerospace community!

Congratulations to the Blue Origin team on the successful mission! This is a significant milestone in advancing space exploration. We're excited to see what comes next. #NS27 #AIAA #ascendspace
We just completed our 27th mission, debuting the second human-rated vehicle for the New Shepard program. The uncrewed verification flight sent 12 payloads to space and back, including tens of thousands of Club for the Future postcards. Bit.ly/3XPzxrX #NS27 -
