SSPI Honors Joshua Ingersoll, Natasha Nogueira and Faizan Rehmatullah with 2026 Promise Awards at the Night of Excellence
SSPI presented the Promise Awards to Joshua Ingersoll of Amazon Leo for Government, Natasha Nogueira of Planet, and Faizan Rehmatullah of MDA Space at the Night of Excellence in Washington, DC, Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
The Promise Awards honor three members of SSPI’s 2025 20 Under 35 class whose early-career achievement, leadership, and example stood out among an already exceptional cohort. They are, in every sense, first among firsts, recognized not as a separate class apart from their peers, but as three remarkable representatives of a generation helping to define the future of the space and satellite industry.
Presented this year at SSPI’s Night of Excellence, the awards formed part of an evening dedicated to honoring excellence across the arc of a career, from rising leaders to members of the Space & Satellite Hall of Fame.
