Course Detail: SPC-1000 - Space Operations for Aviation & Aerospace

Space Operations for Aviation & Aerospace

Overview

Once the domain of Governments, private companies are expected to take the lead in space operations by driving innovation through increased investment and strategic collaboration between commercial and government entities. While the future looks promising, significant risks remain. Several prominent firms have failed. This course aims to provide industry executives and policymakers with interdisciplinary background knowledge to guide their governments, enterprises, and their individual careers into the space economy. Now is the time to get smart about space.

Who should attend?

This course is intended to add actionable value for aerospace managers, aviation leaders, policymakers, and professionals interested in the field of space operations, safety, security, and efficiency.

Course Benefits

The rapid commercialization of space is reimagining how humanity interacts with the final frontier. According to The Space Foundation, the global space economy reached revenues of US $570 billion in 2023, reflecting a 7.4% increase over the previous year - in line with a five-year CAGR of 7.3%, and nearly double the total from a decade ago. Future projections suggest that the global space economy may grow to as much as $2 trillion by 2040. This course will provide an inclusive and diverse learning environment and is open to aviation professionals and regulators from around the world. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with renowned faculty, industry leaders, and fellow professionals to foster a community of practice that promotes the highest standards of safety, security, and efficiency in space operations.
