1 Overview of Aerospace in Colorado Joe Rice, Director, Government Relations, Lockheed Martin Space Systems

2 Aerospace in Colorado #1 in private sector employment per capita, 3 rd overall; 17% growth over the last 10 years Almost 170,000 primary jobs (private sector and government) Not just big business Half of Colorado s over 400 aerospace companies employ fewer than 10 people $1.8 Billion in NASA Prime Contracts (#3 in the country) Aerospace touches every aspect of the Colorado Economy Source: Colorado Space Coalition

3 Aerospace in Colorado Launch Vehicles Spacecraft Satellites Sensors and Instruments Operations and Services Private Sector Examples: Military Examples: - NORTHCOM/NORAD - AF Space Command - 3 Air Force Bases

4 Colorado: At the Center of the USA s Return to Human Space Flight Orion Dream Chaser Atlas and Delta Rockets

5 Classroom Globe Virgin Galactic, etc ¼ Miles

6 Colorado: Home of GPS III To sustain and modernize the constellation, the Air Force and Lockheed Martin are building the next generation of GPS satellites Current generation is wearing out; GPSIII technological improvements With first launch ~ 2016, the GPSIII Satellites will provide: 3 times more accuracy 3-8 times more power Improved earth coverage Compatible with European GPS Constellation Increased design life And much more Colorado at center of new global positioning technology GPS III - Denver Post, 5/26/2013

14 Purpose Seek poten)al suppliers and subcontractors Promote Colorado s aerospace industry Support STEM Educa)on Programs

15 Business Development Road Trips August 5-8, 2013: Pueblo, Alamosa, Durango, Grand Junc>on, and Rifle September 19, 2013: Ft. Morgan July 23 25, 2014: Craig, Yampa Valley, and Steamboat Springs September 29 October 3, 2014: Canon City- Alamosa- Farmington- Durango- Montrose- Buena Vista

16 Media The fact that Colorado is a leading space state is not very well known, despite the fact that Colorado ranks second nationally in private-sector aerospace employment, says Edgar Johansson, CSBR President, in a news release. This aerospace road trip is one way we are trying to promote Colorado s strength in the industry. Colorado s aerospace industry has hundreds of small- and medium-size companies along the Front Range, said Gov. John Hickenlooper, in a news release. Many of our communities across the state have companies that could provide the components and services that are currently sourced outside of Colorado. Aligning these efforts will strengthen Colorado s standing as a leader in the aerospace industry and benefit our economy. Thank you to CLUB 20, Ac)on 22, and Progressive 15 for being such great partners! Today is just the starting point, said roundtable chair Stacey DeFore. We want to see this develop into a dialog we can continue in the future. And we will be back.

17 Road Trip Follow Up * Con;nued Work to grow Colorado s Supplies and Subcontractors * Welcome at Space Round Up 12/10/14 DMNS 7:30-5 p.m. * Annual CSBR Internship Program First in 2014 Planned again for 2015 CSBR par;cipa;on in Statewide STEM Events

18 A few upcoming milestones Orion MAVEN GPS III GOES-R

19 Why Space is important National Security Economic Security Economic Benefits Weather Forecasting Drives Innovation Drives Technology Do we understand and value the benefits of continuing space exploration? Did you know it came from space? Metals, Materials, Electronics Improvements in mammogram technology GPS is used for much more than navigation! Precision Timing: Internet, Finances, etc. Micro-targeting of pesticides and fertilizer Only a few of hundreds of examples

20 We Stopped Dreaming Can also find by Google: Neil degrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming (Episode 1) Nobody s dreaming about tomorrow anymore. The most powerful agency on the dreams of a nation (NASA) is currently underfunded to do what it needs to do. During the Apollo era, you didn t need government programs to convince people that doing science and engineering was good for the country. [And you didn t need to convince kids to pursue STEM.] It was selfevident. And even those not formally trained in technical fields embraced what those fields meant for the collective national future.

21 Ways to Get Involved Colorado Space Coalition ($$$) Federal and State Policy and Advocacy Colorado Space Business Roundtable ($) Focus on Business Development Citizens for Space Exploration (Free!) Grassroots Advocacy and Involvement

22 Citizens for Space Exploration Citizens for Space Exploration (CSE) is a multi-state organization comprised of U.S. taxpayers who support America's investment in human space exploration. We are private citizens, small business owners, students, teachers, space and non-space business representatives, and county and municipal officials. Our mission is to promote awareness of the benefits of America s Human Space Exploration Program and support for NASA. For more information and to join:
