The Space Foundation’s 31st Space Symposium will have more international participation than ever for 2015, including its opening ceremony, to be highlighted by a stunningly unique animation-based digital performance by Enra, a visual dance troupe from Japan that combines elements of performance art, music, technology and light.

The opening ceremony on April 13 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo., will kick off the 31st Space Symposium with presentation of the Space Foundation’s annual awards, including:

  • Alan Shepard Technology in Education Award to June Scobee Rodgers
  • Douglas S. Morrow Public Outreach Award to the NASA/Industry EFT-1 Team
  • Space Achievement Award to X-37B OTV Team
  • John L. “Jack” Swigert, Jr., Award for Space Exploration to Rosetta Comet Team

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will give brief welcoming remarks at the opening ceremony, which is co-sponsored by Northrop Grumman, to be followed by the grand opening of the Ball Aerospace Exhibit Center and Pavilion, featuring the world’s latest space technology, equipment and services. The evening concludes with fireworks lakeside, co-sponsored by Intelsat General Corporation.
