The Florida Institute of Technology will host a free public lecture featuring Maj. Gen. Timothy Sejba on February 19, 2024. The event, part of the F. Alan Smith Distinguished Lecture Series, will take place at the Gleason Performing Arts Center from 17:30 to 19:00 (5:30 PM to 7:00 PM).
Lecture Focuses on Space Innovation
Maj. Gen. Sejba, who previously commanded the Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) and currently serves as the Special Assistant to the Vice Chief of Space Operations, will present on “Three Waves of Space Force-Led Innovation: Transportation To, In, and From Space.” His discussion will address the role of the U.S. Space Force in advancing capabilities across launch operations, on-orbit activities, and return logistics—critical components for national security and the growing commercial space sector.
The lecture will also include a question-and-answer session, allowing attendees to engage directly with one of the senior leaders of the Space Force. This interaction is designed to foster dialogue about the future trajectory of U.S. space operations and their implications for various industries.
