About the working day
How this hemisphere builds the space economy
The United States and the nations of the Western Hemisphere share one geography that matters for the next economy: the equator, the ranges, the energy, and the partners who can actually build. Path to Space for the Americas is a practical working day on how this hemisphere builds the space economy, and who is positioned to take part as access to space opens.
The U.S. Mission to the OAS program is Space Industry Forum: Advancing Cooperation in the Americas. USA House presents the page at the Hall of the Americas, Organization of American States, Washington, D.C., just before UNGA week. Organized with the U.S. Mission to the OAS.
