In the next era of space technology
In this positive panel, Rogers, co-founder and CEO of True Anomaly, and Max Haot, serial entrepreneur of Launcher, founder of Raziner and CEO of the vast, take the stage to explore what is changing and what is needed to unleash a more sustainable and vast space economy.
Rogers brings deep national security and defense experience from his years as an Air Force officer and Space Systems Strategist, including time as a DARPA Service Chief Fellow, to his years as a contributor to the basic doctrines of the US Space Force. Now he is deploying cutting-edge space technology to protect orbital assets and rethink how the US can ensure freedom of action in space.
HAOT, on the other hand, brings the commercial aspect of the equation. As CEO of Vast, he is the founder of aerospace, live streaming, and multiexit, a company that spans connected devices. Most recently, he has led the launcher to vast acquisitions as part of his mission to build an artificial gravity space station, becoming an important voice that transforms science fiction into a capital-backed reality.
