Hi Amazing Women in Space and Aerospace!

It's my pleasure to announce that the next Bay Area Women in Space and Aerospace (BAWISA) Happy Hour will be hosted at Loft Orbital on Wednesday, July 31!

This event will feature some of the members of this year's Brooke Owens Fellowship class (or Brookies, as they are known) who are interning locally at Loft, Zipline, and Joby along with local alumni! We'll welcome them to the group and get a chance to know each of their stories.

Rough Agenda:

5:30-6:30pm: Welcome

6:30-7:30pm: Announcements & Meet the Brookies

7:30-9:00pm: More Mix n Mingle

Loft Orbital has graciously offered to provide snacks and refreshments, so no need to bring anything!

Please RSVP using Eventbrite by Monday, July 29. As always, pass along the invitation to anyone who may be interested.

About Loft: Loft Orbital provides the fastest and simplest path to orbit for organizations that require information from space. We operate satellites, fly customer payloads onboard, and handle the entire mission from initial concept through in-orbit operations. This service is powered by our hardware and software products that enable any payload to fly on a standard satellite, reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission. Our customers trust us to manage their space infrastructure, so they can focus on what matters most to them: operate their mission and collect their data. We build “shareable” satellites to make it easier and faster for our customers to access space.

About the Brooke Owens Fellowship: Created to honor the legacy of a beloved space industry pioneer and accomplished pilot, Dawn Brooke Owens (1980 – 2016), the Brooke Owens Fellowship is designed to serve both as an inspiration and as a career boost to capable young women and gender minorities who, like Brooke, aspire to explore our sky and stars, to shake up the aerospace industry, and to help their fellow people here on planet Earth. A nationally-acclaimed nonprofit program, the Brooke Owens Fellowship matches every fellow with a paid aerospace internship, a dedicated senior mentor, and lifelong professional network. Every year the new class of fellows come together for 5 days at the Brooke Owens Annual Summit in Washington D.C.

Hope to see you all on July 31!

Best,

Jeanette
