About the Space Foundation

Our mission: To advance space-related endeavors to inspire, enable and propel humanity.

The Space Foundation is an international, nonprofit organization and the foremost advocate for all sectors of the space industry. Founded in 1983, we are a leader in space awareness activities, educational programs that bring space into the classroom, space-related research and major industry events, including the National Space Symposium, all in support of our mission "to advance space-related endeavors to inspire, enable and propel humanity."

An expert in all aspects of the global space industry, the Space Foundation publishes The Space Report: The Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity and provides three indices that track daily performance of the space industry. Through our Space Certification and Space Technology Hall of Fame® programs, we recognize space-based technologies and innovations that have been adapted to improve life on Earth.

Headquartered in Colorado Springs, the Space Foundation conducts research and analysis and government affairs activities from our Washington, D.C., office and has a field office in Houston, Texas.
