APT Research was proud to serve as a Silver Sponsor of the The Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce, 8th Annual Space Coast Symposium & Expo, where leaders across government and industry came together around the future of America’s space enterprise.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Administrator Jared Isaacman delivered a clear message: what comes next will require more launches, more spacecraft, more testing, more infrastructure, and strong industry partnerships to make it possible.

That message has special meaning for APT. While on the Space Coast, our Chief Growth Officer Meredith Dupree Payne met with leaders at Kennedy Space Center, spent time with members of our SMASS team, and toured KSC with APT Program Manager Allen Neal Aj.

Stops at the Apollo 1 and Space Shuttle Columbia memorials were powerful reminders of the lives and sacrifices behind America’s space program and the responsibility carried forward with every mission. As NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration looks toward Artemis and the next era of exploration, honoring that legacy remains an important part of moving forward.

A special thank you to AJ Neal, Kimberly Harkins Widmer, and Charles Wilson for representing APT at the Space Coast Symposium & Expo and showcasing the team behind our work at Kennedy Space Center.

We are proud of our SMASS team, proud to support NASA at KSC, and excited about the missions still to come.
