Inside This Issue
In 2004, the California Space Authority (CSA) created a new membership category for organizations interested in playing a leading role in the success of CSA and its efforts to “Retain, Grow and Create” California space enterprise. Two companies have stepped forward, investing in CSA as new Executive Council members. CSA salutes these two organizations for their vision and leadership.
