Aerospace in Colorado
• #1 in private sector employment per capita,
3rd overall; 17% growth over the last 10 years
• Almost 170,000 primary jobs (private sector and government)
• Not “just” big business… Half of Colorado’s over 400 aerospace companies employ fewer than 10 people
• $1.8 Billion in NASA Prime Contracts (#3 in the country)
Aerospace touches every aspect of the Colorado Economy

Aerospace in Colorado
• Launch Vehicles • Spacecraft • Satellites • Sensors and Instruments • Operations and Services
Private Sector Examples:
Military Examples:
- NORTHCOM/NORAD - AF Space Command - 3 Air Force Bases
Colorado: At the Center of the USA’s Return to Human Space Flight
Dream Chaser
Orion
Atlas and Delta Rockets
Virgin Galactic,
etc

Globe
Colorado: Home of GPS III • To sustain and modernize the constellation, the Air Force and
Lockheed Martin are building the next generation of GPS satellites
• Current generation is wearing out; GPSIII technological improvements
• With first launch ~ 2016, the GPSIII Satellites will provide:
– 3 times more accuracy – 3-8 times more power – Improved earth coverage – Compatible with European
GPS Constellation – Increased design life – And much more

Though LM is one of the two “parents” of ULA;
we are also have our own line of launch products including commercial
Atlas sales and the Athena Expendable Launch

• Seek poten)al suppliers and subcontractors
• Promote Colorado’s aerospace industry
• Support STEM Educa)on Programs
Purpose
Business Development Road Trips • August 5-‐8, 2013: Pueblo, Alamosa,
Durango, Grand Junc>on, and Rifle
• September 19, 2013: Ft. Morgan
• July 23 – 25, 2014: Craig, Yampa Valley, and Steamboat Springs
• September 29 – October 3, 2014: Canon City-‐Alamosa-‐Farmington-‐Durango-‐Montrose-‐Buena Vista
“The fact that Colorado is a leading space state is not very well known, despite the fact that Colorado ranks second nationally in private-sector aerospace employment,” says Edgar Johansson, CSBR President, in a news release. “This aerospace road trip is one way we are trying to promote Colorado’s strength in the industry.”
“Today is just the starting point,” said roundtable chair Stacey DeFore. “We want to see this develop into a dialog we can continue in the future. And we will be back.”
“Colorado’s aerospace industry has hundreds of small- and medium-size companies along the Front Range,” said Gov. John Hickenlooper, in a news release. “Many of our communities across the state have companies that could provide the components and services that are currently sourced outside of Colorado. Aligning these efforts will strengthen Colorado’s standing as a leader in the aerospace industry and benefit our economy.”

Why Space is important…
• National Security • Economic Security • Economic Benefits • Weather Forecasting • Drives Innovation • Drives Technology
Do we understand and value
the benefits of continuing space exploration?
Did you know it came from
space?
• Metals, Materials, Electronics
• Improvements in mammogram technology
• GPS is used for much more than navigation!
– Precision Timing: Internet, Finances, etc. – Micro-targeting of pesticides and fertilizer
Only a few of hundreds of examples…

“Neil deGrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming (Episode 1)”
“Nobody’s dreaming about tomorrow anymore. The most powerful agency on the dreams of a nation (NASA)
is currently underfunded to do what it needs to do.”
“During the Apollo era, you didn’t need government programs to convince people that doing science and engineering was good for the country. [And you didn’t
need to convince kids to pursue STEM.] It was self-evident. And even those not formally trained in
technical fields embraced what those fields meant for the collective national future.”
