Small businesses are a critical driver of innovation in the space sector, but breaking into the government market can be daunting. NASA’s annual State of the Art of Small Spacecraft Technology report serves as both a roadmap and a spotlight for small businesses pushing boundaries in small spacecraft innovation, with over half a million page views each year.

Join us for a webinar hosted by Craig Burkhard, Deputy Director at NASA Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy, as we dive into the significance of this influential resource. Discover how the government identifies and evaluates small businesses, how this information shapes government contracts, the tangible benefits for companies featured in the report, and how companies go about getting featured in the report.
