Your off-world future is looking up
ASCEND illuminates the possibilities in all directions — especially if you’re looking up. While our vision looks to the stars, the ASCEND experience is grounded in these five fundamentals, the keys to everyone’s success in space:
PARTNERS
ASCEND attracts the leaders, innovators and influencers you need to know, and who need to know you.
PROJECTS
From one-off widgets to wholly integrated systems, big ideas bring us together.
PROCESS
It’s the discipline in our DNA. It’s how we solve problems, building confidence every step of the way.
POLICIES
We’re active advocates for laws, legislation, and regulations that encourage innovation and eliminate barriers to progress.
PASSION
It’s sustainable.
It’s renewable.
It fuels us!
