KBR Speaking at Annual ASCENDxTexas Conference

KBR is pleased to sponsor and speak at this year’s ASCENDxTexas, an annual conference bringing together the space community to share best practices, innovative strategies, and opportunities to succeed in today’s global market and our off-world future. This year's theme, Pathways for Our Success: Breaking Barriers and Accelerating the Space Ecosystem, focuses on outcome-focused conversations, updates on signature space programs, as well as multiple on and off-site networking opportunities.

KBR is a proud corporate member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the governing organization that powers ASCEND, which stands for Accelerating Space Commerce, Exploration, and New Discovery. ASCEND is the world’s premier collaborative, outcomes-driven, interdisciplinary community designed to accelerate the building of our off-world future.

We invite you to join us as KBR’s Senior Vice President of Science & Space Todd May participates in a key panel during the conference on March 29 at 4 p.m. CT.

Moderated by Ian Christiansen from the Secure World Foundation, the panel will discuss the Characterization of Risks and Barriers – Perceptions vs Realities. For the future to become reality, we need to be honest with the facts versus the fiction of space exploration. The barriers to success in space are multi-dimensional and interdependent with physics, politics, and capital (human and funds), the most pressing. This panel will frame our checklist for the success we seek.
