The Edge of Exploration: Our Galactic Neighborhood
Astrophotography has produced many iconic images of fantastic skyscapes. Roiling colorful clouds gas and dust suggest cataclysmic events on a massive scale.
This program will ask the questions: " Where are these objects in our galaxy?" and "What do they tell us about the forces that shape the space around us?"

Arizona Space Business Roundtable I Phantom Space
Arizona Space Business Roundtable
It turns out that one of our Roundtable companies is positioned to be a key player in the orbital data center market. Many of you visited Phantom Space last January, where Jim Cantrell talked about their small launch vehicles currently in development. But he didn’t go into much detail then about their “Phantom Cloud” platform. Now’s the time. Phantom Cloud will redefine how the world accesses and leverages space by shifting the industry from a hardware-centric paradigm to a rapid, software-driven ecosystem with unprecedented accessibility. Much like Henry Ford democratized terrestrial transportation a century ago, Phantom Cloud will unlock space for billions of people, enabling space enterprises to begin and end at the keyboard. By lowering barriers to entry, Phantom Cloud will crowdsource innovation, mirroring the explosive value creation seen in the mobile app ecosystem and tapping into the immense potential of space-borne data.
