The emerging space economy prioritizes infrastructure, autonomy, and defense capabilities to support sustained off-Earth operations. Commercial and government collaboration, including venture-backed orbital platforms, will enable scalable architectures and novel business models. Defense-oriented technologies will focus on protecting orbital assets and ensuring freedom of action in space. Founders and operators with cross-domain experience drive the shift from theoretical concepts to operational systems, advancing artificial-gravity platforms, connected devices, and other orbital services. Conferences and industry gatherings spotlight the strategies, technologies, and partnerships needed to accelerate deployment and secure long-term sustainability of space-based infrastructure.
Rogers brings deep national security and defense experience from his years as an Air Force officer and space systems strategist, including time as a DARPA Service Chiefs Fellow and contributor to the foundational doctrine of the U.S. Space Force. Now, he's deploying cutting-edge space technologies to protect orbital assets and reimagine how the U.S. ensures freedom of action in space.
Hoat meanwhile, brings the commercial side of the equation - he's a multi-exit founder with companies spanning aerospace, livestreaming, and connected devices. Most recently, he led Launcher to acquisition by Vast as part of a mission to build artificial gravity space stations, making him a key voice in turning science fiction into capital-backed reality.
From new government-commercial partnerships to venture-backed orbital platforms, this session looks at the strategies and tech fueling the next wave of growth. It's a candid conversation for anyone betting on the intersection of space, innovation, and private enterprise. More space tech leaders to join this panel discussion, so stay tuned for the update.
