The 9th Annual GSA Spaceport Summit, organised by the Global Spaceport Alliance (GSA), took place in January in Orlando, Florida.
This year’s summit was the first time this event has been open to non-GSA members and saw a record-breaking attendance.
The event featured former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine as the keynote speaker.
“Nearly 200 attendees joined the GSA Spaceport Summit, setting a new record with a growth rate that is double last year’s event. Representatives from 20 spaceports across the US, UK, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Peru, and Portugal participated, along with additional representatives from Canada and France,” stated James Causey, GSA Executive Director.
According to the Space Report, there has been a 48% increase in proposed spaceports worldwide over the past four years.
This increase is reflected in the membership growth of the Global Spaceport Alliance, the largest international network of spaceports.
The GSA organisation has seen a 220% growth rate in memberships as the nascent spaceport industry expands and the need for assistance and representation grows.
The next GSA Spaceport Summit is scheduled for January 27, 2025, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
