SpaceCom, in collaboration with NASA, focuses on commercialization, procurement, investment, partnerships, and business growth across the space economy. Its tracks cover infrastructure, manufacturing, mobility, market demand, investment trends, procurement priorities, lunar and cislunar initiatives, emerging technologies, commercial low Earth orbit destinations, AI, and autonomy. Program themes include Artemis cadence and architecture, supply-chain readiness, workforce and industrial execution, lunar infrastructure, robotics, human systems, commercial space stations, nuclear power and propulsion, science missions, orbital manufacturing, and space traffic management. Sessions address space-infrastructure co-investment, manufacturing bottlenecks, commercial procurement and scale, policy and governance, spacecraft servicing, cybersecurity, AI-enabled operations, lunar resource systems, and commercial investment. Headline keynotes include invited NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and retired NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson.

SpaceCom, in collaboration with NASA, brings together government priorities, commercial capability, and industry innovation around procurement, investment, partnerships, business development, and technology commercialization. The program is organized across the SpaceCom: Keynotes, ADVANCE, DISCOVER, EXPLORE, INNOVATE, and TINA Talks streams. Topics include Artemis cadence and architecture; launch logistics and high-cadence access to space; commercial-government co-investment; commercial space stations; spacecraft servicing and lifecycle economics; supply-chain, manufacturing, and infrastructure bottlenecks; workforce and industrial execution; nuclear power and propulsion; cislunar mobility; international partnerships; space traffic management; cybersecurity; AI-enabled mission control; orbital manufacturing and repair; lunar resource utilization; space-resource law; and intellectual-property rights for space-based innovations. Named sessions include “SpaceCom Day 1 Opening Keynotes,” “Invite-Only Executive Forum: From Orbit to Outcome: Why Space Has Become Enterprise Infrastructure,” “Launch Is Logistics: Scaling High-Cadence Access to Space,” “Commercial-Government Co-Investment: How Space Infrastructure Gets Funded,” “Moon Joy! Lessons from the Artemis II Journey,” “The Case for Commercial Space Stations: Innovation Needs Customers,” “Service, Refuel, or Replace? The New Economics of Spacecraft Lifecycles,” “Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Hidden Infrastructure Bottlenecks,” “Policy, Law, and Governance for the New Space Age,” “Powering the Next Frontier: Nuclear Power and Propulsion,” “Mission Control, Rewritten: When AI Agents Move from Advice to Action,” and “Building the Moon Base.”
