“Administrator Bridenstine has been an ardent supporter of the commercial space industry for many years as a U.S. congressman and now as the head of NASA, and we are honored to have him return to SATELLITE as a special guest speaker,” said Jeffrey Hill, Chair of SATELLITE 2019. “The Administrator is also very excited to lead off an event that recognizes our community’s top executives, emerging technologies, and startups. The Via Satellite and SATELLITE teams have worked very hard to assemble what I believe is the best aerospace conference program ever produced.”
NASA Administrator Bridenstine was nominated by President Donald Trump, confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and sworn in as NASA’s 13th administrator on April 23, 2018.
