The Accelerate Brevard 4th Annual State of Space was a tremendous success today at the Kennedy Space Center’s Heroes & Legends Conference Center 🚀🌌

This year’s discussion, “America’s Launch Pad: Florida’s Role in the New Space Economy,” brought together leaders from across the space community, government, and industry to explore how civil, commercial, and national security partnerships are driving innovation, investment, and mission growth on the Space Coast.

A special honor was also given to former NASA Space Shuttle Launch Director, Robert Sieck, who was recognized with the Space Coast Legacy Award. It was a privilege to have him in attendance and to celebrate his contributions to space exploration and the enduring legacy he represents within the aerospace community.

We extend our sincere thanks to our moderator, Lynda Weatherman, and our distinguished panelists:

• Brian Baluta
• Col Brian L. Chatman
• Col Shannon DeSilva
• Michael Farro
• Jeremy Graver
• Col Terrence McCaffrey

We also extend our gratitude to all sponsors who made this event possible:
