About the Space Foundation

Our mission: To advance space-related endeavors to inspire, enable and propel humanity.

The foremost advocate for all sectors of the space industry and an expert in all aspects of space, the Space Foundation is a global, nonprofit leader in space awareness activities, educational programs that bring space into the classroom and major industry events, including the National Space Symposium, all in support of our mission to advance space-related endeavors to inspire, enable and propel humanity.

The Space Foundation publishes The Space Report: The Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity and provides three indexes that track daily performance of the space industry. Through our Space Certification^TM and Space Technology Hall of Fame® programs, we recognize space-based technologies and innovations that have been adapted to improve life on Earth.

Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, we conduct research and analysis and government affairs activities from our Washington, D.C., office and have field representatives in Texas and Florida.
