Happy New Year to the entire human spaceflight ecosystem! After a very busy end-of-year, ASP’s membership and team are initializing our core efforts for 2021. Strategic goals for the year include:

1. Continue development of human-in-the-loop space prototypes and experiments

2. Continue development of core member services, including funding opportunities and professional certification roadmaps

3. Increase our capacity to build and iterate technologies and experiments through educational content creation and industry partnerships

4. Author articles, presentations, and reports as updates on member work

Starting in January, this will include the submission of several new grant applications, as well as ongoing collaborations with academic institutions.

ASP’s membership shares a mission to develop the next generation of spaceflight professionals, and in doing so, to provide the means for achievement of key milestones in human spaceflight. To support professional development in this way, ASP continues to advance funding facilitation and professional opportunity in a variety of areas.

We are looking forward to 2021.
