Sponsor Profile: Orbital

Sponsor support can be credited with making the National Space Symposium the premier annual gathering of the global space community. This year’s 26th edition will be held April 12-15 at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Symposium’s Opening Ceremony on Monday evening will set the mood for a dynamic, international program. And afterwards, Orbital will sponsor a spectacular fireworks display and a dessert reception for all attendees.
