The SVC connects the communities of government, industry, and entrepreneurial space to explore early-stage technology opportunities. SVC identifies early-stage commercial and research technologies and helps create pathways for mission infusion and commercialization.

SVC interests include software, hardware, materials, information technology, new manufacturing techniques, and anything with potential application to space.

WHAT: We collaborate with universities and startups to expose them to commercial and government space programs and connect them with resources such as partners, mentors, customers and investors.  We are interested in software, hardware, materials and new manufacturing techniques with potential application to the space industry.

WHY: Universities and startups need help commercializing their IP while the government and industry need help connecting to non-traditional (innovative) communities. SVC is a mechanism to achieve both those goals. By combining our efforts across government and industry to identify and evaluate emerging technologies, we can better scale the effort and enable more funding with better insight that will result in improved success for the US space industry.
