ASCEND is excited to announce the 2023 Diverse Dozen (D12). D12 is a partnership between ASCEND and astrodynamicist Moriba Jah, co-founder/chief scientist at Privateer; associate professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics at the University of Texas.

These individuals represent an exclusive ASCEND community of thought leaders and activists, whose intellectual and emotional commitment to building a sustainable off-world future knows no bounds. This year’s cohort represents nine countries including Argentina, Canada, India, Kenya, Pakistan, Paraguay, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Join the members of D12 at 2023 ASCEND on Tuesday, 24 October, from 1130–1230 hrs PDT, as they unveil their visionary thoughts on space.
