New York is a significant player in the American space ecosystem. 

The Apollo Lunar Landers were built here, and New York is one of the largest sources of Space Finance in the United States. 

The NY space ecosystem hosts a network of over 60 Colleges & Universities with space programs, employs tens of thousands of New Yorkers and contributes hundreds of millions to the broader New York economy every year. 

New York is a significant recipient of NASA investment and is a Top 15 state for NASA-related job creation, and hosts a leading NASA climate research facility at Columbia University in Manhattan.

Space Week NY 2025 is meant to be a celebration of this rich history and a chance to foster networking and collaboration within the New York space ecosystem. It is also an opportunity to promote these successes and build support among the broader public to invest in these capabilities and attract even more academic and private sector growth to the New York space ecosystem.
