About the Event

Legacy to Launch is hosted by Agile Space Industries, the Space Test Center, and Tulsa Air
and Space Museum as part of Oklahoma Aerospace Week.

Oklahoma’s aerospace legacy has laid the foundation for a bold new chapter in space
innovation. This event brings together industry leaders, state partners, and innovators to
explore the evolution of space in Tulsa and across Oklahoma — from its historic aerospace
roots to the emergence of the Space Test Center and the growing momentum behind a
competitive Oklahoma space cluster.

Through three focused discussions, we will examine where we’ve been, what we’re
building today, and how Oklahoma is positioning itself as a national destination for
propulsion testing, partnership development, and next-generation space advancement.
