“U.S. Space Policies for the Final Economic Frontier”

Joint Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Chapter virtual meeting on February 11

On the heels of the recently released 2020 National Space Policy and the 2020 election, Bruce Cahan and Mir Sadat released “U.S. Space Policies for the New Space Age: Competing on the Final Economic Frontier”, a report on transforming existing and emerging U.S. space policies, legislation, and strategies into action plans that will ensure U.S. strategic leadership in space for the 2040-2060 timeframe. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that the global space market will increase from approximately $385 billion in 2020 to at least $1.5 trillion by 2040. Rising economic benefits, national security importance, and advances in fundamental technologies also contribute to the growth in numbers and the improved capabilities of spacefaring nations. Advancements in commercial space technologies reduce costs and unlock new opportunities for economic growth and dual-use capabilities for ally and adversary spacefaring nations.

China’s One Belt and One Road Initiative (OBOR) is its long-range plan for geopolitical and economic supremacy, spanning initially 64 and now 100 countries. Space infrastructure, from launch to satellite imagery and telecommunications, is now part of the OBOR Initiative. The Initiative aligns China’s economic, industrial, and political assets for implementation and permanent financing. Space and cyberspace components of the OBOR Initiative are just the most visible parts of China’s long-term economic and national security commitments to dominate the emerging space economy. China has successfully aligned its diplomatic, economic, industrial, and political assets for implementation and permanent financing. Such attempts aim to weaken U.S. strategic leadership in space by creating schisms with allies and partners, and undermining U.S. long-term planning and commitment in space.

The United States must seize this decade’s opportunities to retain U.S. strategic leadership in space by creating and implementing cohesive economic, financial, diplomatic, S&T, and policymaking plans to meet the challenge. The recent 2020 U.S. National Space Policy, and associated government policies, reflect the cumulative policy improvements of the recent years.

Please join us online on Thursday, February 11, 8:00–9:00am PST when Dr. Mir Sadat, Former Policy Director, the National Security Council of the Executive Office of the President at the White House, will take an intriguing look at the challenges facing the United States space industry, and will provide insights on the path forward. In order to keep up with the exponential space technology and industry evolution, and the rising challenges for national security, the United States needs: 1) an enduring 2060 National Space Vision, 2) a better organizational system to advance interagency policies, and 3) to augment market-based economic activities with visionary policies.

“Practical considerations for returning to work in the post-COVID-19 world”

Joint Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Chapter virtual meeting on August 26

Many A&D Forum members participate in the Defense Supply Chain and thus never really closed. Portions of their workforce were continuing to work in a manufacturing environment with daily health screening, mask wearing, social distancing, increased hygiene and in some cases regular Covid-19 testing. Once we can return to work, things will change once again and may cause some disruption. Manufacturing plants that never closed will have to determine what new practices to keep and what to discontinue. Some workforce members that transitioned to remote work may stay that way and others will return to in office/plant work environments. The only certainty is there will be changes, but no one knows what those changes will be.

Since March, employers have been reeling from government shelter-in-place orders and constantly evolving guidance and requirements pertaining to COVID-19.

Please join us online on Wednesday, August 26, 7:30–9:00am Pacific Time when Ben Tulis, Advice & Counsel Attorney, Jackson Lewis P.C., will discuss common issues employers are facing in California and nationally from when a worksite can re-open, guidelines for essential businesses and what to do if an employee refuses to return. Other topics will include the latest information on COVID-19 specific leave information, COVID-19 specific accommodations, guidance for safety in the workplace, and teleworking employees. This area is constantly evolving and the presentation will focus on the most timely issues based on the guidance at the time of the meeting. We will also discuss the various federal, state, and local requirements and resources that help employers stay up to date.

The meeting is free for members and $25 for non-members. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adfsfvaug20.eventbrite.com.

“Frequent & Reliable Small Launch is Here”

Joint Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Chapter virtual meeting on July 17

We are in an exciting new era of small satellite technology – one that’s making life on Earth better. Small satellites keep us connected, provide security, help us monitor resources and environmental change, and they enable us to explore new and exciting science that benefits us all.

Access to orbit for these small satellites has been challenging, until now. Rocket Lab believes the launch process should be simple, seamless and tailored to your mission – from idea to orbit. Since the Electron launch vehicle was first conceived in 2013, every detail of the Rocket Lab launch experience has been designed to provide small satellites with rapid, reliable and affordable access to space.

Please join us online on Friday, July 17, 8:00–9:00am PST when Shane Fleming, VP Global Commercial Launch Services, Rocket Lab, will present how innovation is at the core of the Electron launch vehicle, just as it’s at the core of the revolutionary small satellites they’re launching to orbit. Electron was designed to be built and launched with unprecedented frequency, while providing the smoothest ride and most precise deployment to orbit for your satellite. They have also developed the world’s only private orbital launch pad to provide unrivalled scheduling freedom. Humankind’s next major achievements await us on orbit. We’ll take you there.

“The JPL VITAL Ventilator Project: A successful rapid response design and prototyping effort”

Joint Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Chapter virtual meeting on June 19

Starting in the middle of March 2020, a group of JPL engineers envisioned how JPL innovative engineering may be able to help solve the national and global crisis in the shortage of ventilators to help distressed patients suffering from consequences of the COVID-19 virus.

By late April, with the assistance of local physicians who were treating COVID-19 patients, a group of JPL engineers prototyped two different designs focused on requirements defined by the respiratory experts; tested the prototype at the frontline of the pandemic at the New York Mt. Sinai Hospital, submitted the design to the FDA for Emergency Use Authorization, showcased the prototype at the White House to the POTUS, obtained FDA/EUA, and issued a global royalty free license, and received over 100 applicants world-wide… all in less than 2 months.

Please join us online Friday, June 19, 8:00–9:00am PST when Leon Alkalai, JPL Fellow, Manager of the Office of Strategic Partnerships, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, will give us an interesting look at how to tap your organization’s strengths, pivot the business in response to unforeseen challenges and opportunities, and do it successfully in a very short timeframe. Not only is this a compelling and timely topic, but the takeaway lessons in formulating a vision, building a highly effective team, and impeccable execution derived from this effort have applicability to virtually any business.

The meeting is free for members and $25 for non-members and is limited to 100 attendees. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adflajun20.eventbrite.com.
