Dallas TX, April 1, 2021 – As the first of four virtual events comprising the International Cyber, Land, Air, Sea and Space (C.L.A.S.S.) Symposium, America’s Future Series will host its Space Innovation Summit on April 6 and 7, 2021. Sponsored by California-based communications provider Viasat, and partnering with TexSpace, an aerospace accelerator in Houston, TX the conference brings together leading global decision makers to discuss humanity’s future in space. Space Foundation, Colorado Springs, is also represented by RADM Tom Zellibor, CEO, and Shelli Brunswick, COO.


C-level visionaries from the private sector will engage in interactive discussions with their peers from government agencies to delve into the intriguing path forward for the space industry.
