Texas Space Summit

Texas Space Summit is designed for decision-makers who understand how space works in the real world.

Attendees span civil, commercial, and military space, and the terrestial industries that support them.

07/28/2026

From the start, the vision for the Texas Space Summit has been bold: to create a premier gathering that reflects Texas’ unmatched role in the rapidly evolving space economy, strengthens the state’s space supply chain, and accelerates collaboration across the industry. Over the past several months, engagement with leaders across commercial space, national security, research, academia, and innovation has reinforced the tremendous opportunity ahead, and the importance of building a Summit that matches the scale and excellence of the sector it represents.

To fully realize this vision, we have made the decision to move the inaugural Texas Space Summit to 2027. This additional time will allow us to expand upon the strong foundation already established, deepen industry engagement, and create an experience that delivers meaningful value for the organizations advancing this industry.

We are grateful to the sponsors, speakers, advisors, and supporters who have contributed their time, expertise, and enthusiasm. Your partnership has helped shape this effort, and we look forward to continuing this momentum together. The mission remains the same: bringing together the leaders, ideas, and innovations driving space exploration, strengthening the supply chain, and advancing Texas’ leadership in this next frontier.

The Texas space and manufacturing supply chain is consolidating fast.

Rockets launch from the Coast. Astronauts train in Houston. Engines fire in West Texas. Satellites, robotics, and life-support systems get built in between.

What's been missing is one room where all of it connects.

Texas Space Summit brings together USSF and Space leadership, NASA centers, commercial space companies, prime contractors, venture investors, researchers, and policymakers in one place for three days.

Sept 21–23 · Henry B. González Convention Center · San Antonio, TX

TSS is explicitly designed for the moment where strategy turns into actions.

This is where ideas become contracts and pilots become programs.

A new era of space is being built in Texas. 🚀

Mayor Lori Blong of Midland shares why the Texas Space Summit is the place to be: Texas already has the industrial backbone, the supply chains, and the entrepreneurial spirit required to support the future of commercial space.

Midland is proud to be part of that story as home to the nation's first FAA-licensed commercial spaceport co-located with a commercial airport. And San Antonio is the perfect host for this statewide conversation.

The leaders, innovators, and investors shaping the business of space are coming together this September 21-23, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas.

Join the conversation and be part of shaping the future of the business of space in Texas.

Texas Space Summit Welcomes Space Force Association as Supporting Organization.

The Space Force Association (SFA) joins the 2026 Texas Space Summit as a Supporting Organization, taking place September 21–23 in San Antonio.

Brig. Gen. Damon Feltman (Ret.), CEO, Space Force Association: "Texas plays an outsized role in the national security space mission, from training and readiness to the industrial base that delivers capability. The Texas Space Summit is a strong venue for connecting leaders across government and industry to strengthen readiness and advance the partnerships the space domain demands."

The Space Force Association strengthens what the Summit can deliver for leaders focused on national security space, and how the State of Texas's existing workforce and expanded supply chain infrastructure can reinforce the connection between operational needs and the partnerships required to deliver outcomes.

Additional programming announcements and speaker confirmations are coming in the weeks ahead.

Speaker Program Spotlight.

The path from Earth to the Moon, and eventually Mars, is no longer a thought experiment.

It is an engineering challenge. One that requires transportation systems, communication networks, power infrastructure, logistics, in-space operations, and mission architectures capable of supporting sustained human activity beyond Earth orbit.

At Texas Space Summit, three leaders helping shape that future will take the stage together:

- Alan Stern, Associate Vice President at Southwest Research Institute
- Todd A. May, Senior Vice President of Science & Space at KBR
- Kevin Scholtes, Future Systems Architect at Firefly Aerospace

This fireside chat, Earth-Moon-Mars Route Design, focuses on designing transportation routes, logistics networks, and interplanetary routing systems for a multi-world future.

Together, they will explore the infrastructure, systems architecture, and operational frameworks required to move people, cargo, and capabilities reliably across cislunar space and beyond.

Many companies are developing critical technologies to make that future possible, and they are doing it right here in Texas.

Texas is helping build the route. This fireside chat is about how the pieces connect.

Speaker Program Spotlight.

Most medical technology is built for one environment. Matthew Kuhn builds for the hardest one first.

As a named inventor on 50+ US patents across cardiovascular, neurovascular, and surgical devices, and now Founder & CEO of Skybound Medtech. Matthew has spent his career engineering systems. His venture studio is developing dual-use medical infrastructure for long-duration human spaceflight, while simultaneously unlocking next-generation therapeutics for aging and critical care on Earth.

$5M in initial capital. Anchored in the Texas Medical Center. Built at the convergence of space medicine, longevity science, and national resilience.

At the Texas Space Summit, Matthew demonstrates how to build a venture engine around dual-use space health and performance technologies and why Texas is the hub to scale it.

One mission. Two cosmos. Built in Houston.

Speaker Program Spotlight.

Wildfires don't wait. Neither should detection.

A Texas agency is among the first to test whether a constellation of space satellites can help emergency responders identify and track wildfires faster, improving situational awareness when every minute matters.

The FireSat program is building a space-based infrared detection system designed specifically for wildfires to provide near real-time data on active fires around the world.

At Texas Space Summit, do not miss this panel: "Industrialize Space While Prioritizing Mission Performance." This panel is on scaling space systems from R&D to operational constellations while preserving mission-critical performance, using FireSat as a case study.

Featured speakers include:

-Matthew Freeman, Director of Space Instrumentation, Southwest Research Institute (Moderator)
-Jonathan Dyer, CEO, Muon Space
-Brian Collins, Executive Director, Earth Fire Alliance
-Jared Karns, Division Director of Fire & Emergency Response, Texas A&M Forest Service
-Kaitlynn Glover, Executive Director, Public Lands Council and NCBA Natural Resources

This is more than a discussion about satellites. This is a case study in how space technology can create a measurable impact on Earth. With nearly 268,000 square miles of Texas to protect, it is a conversation worth having.
