A global network supporting those who identify as women in space and satellite, and their allies.
SSPI-WISE is a group that welcomes all women members from the space & satellite industry. Our focus is engaging women in the space industry through STEM outreach, structured mentor programs and partnerships with other women's groups. We meet once per month, usually on Zoom, to discuss goals, plan new events and, of course, have fun!

The space & satellite industry is more dynamic than ever, with professionals moving across sectors and roles at an accelerated pace. At SSPI, this has brought in a wave of new leadership, including a remarkable milestone: as of last year’s election, four of our newest Board Directors are women.
