ABOUT SPACE PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY

Space Professional Society is a professional, honorary, service organization advocating the support of spacepower.

Space Professional Society is “professional” because of the established intent of its members to become officers in the United States Space Force or space professionals supporting the space superiority mission. It strives to instill in its members an attitude of unselfish dedication to, and responsibility for, fulfillment of the missions of the Space Force and Space Professional Society.

Space Professional Society is “honorary” because of the high standards required of all cadets and students earning membership.

Space Professional Society is “service” oriented because of the contributions and assistance provided to the community, the campus, officer commissioning programs, civilian leadership development and enlisted leadership development programs.

MISSION: To develop solutions to support the way we fight in space and cyberspace.

VISION: To create and grow a national competition to promote development and innovation assisting in Space Force operations.

OBJECTIVES

– To create a more efficient relationship among Space Force officer candidates, in particular within the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. (note: this organization is not limited to ROTC cadets and is open to any individual who is interested in pursuing a career in support of the national security space objectives).

– To aid in the development of effective Space Force officers and professionals.

– To further the purpose, traditions, and concepts of the United States Space Force.

PURPOSE

– Space Professional Society provides members excellent opportunities for leadership experience, and opportunities that provide valuable training. The Society furthers a working knowledge of the administrative practices of the USSF, which can be of great value to a member as a cadet and later as an officer and for civilians who will support the space superiority mission.

– Within the Society, candidates and members alike find fellowship, become better acquainted with cadre and other officers, and receive more complete training.

– The Society develops a valuable esprit de corps. Group consciousness among members, coupled with improved officer/cadet/civilian relationships fostered by the society, leads directly to a stronger, more efficient cadet corps and space professional cohesion.

– The Society, in participation with the Space Force Association, aids members in gaining an understanding and appreciation of aerospace power for national security.

– Another important benefit of Space Professional Society is that members come in direct contact with other men and women who share similar goals. Members have the mutual objective of promoting and furthering the purpose, traditions, and concept of the United States Space Force.

CAPSTONE OVERVIEW

Six regions will work with a member of SFA to determine a capstone project for the semester. Each of the six regions will have a different topic. Regional Capstones will be smaller in comparison to the National Capstone.

The National Capstone is a display of region dominance in the aspect of space domain. National Capstone leads will work with USSF and SFA to develop upcoming projects for the year ahead.

The main objective of the SPS National Capstone is to provide professional development training and offer the opportunity for networking and exchanging ideas for the space domain.

SFA AND PRIVATE COMPANY INVOLVEMENT WITH SPACE PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY

SFA will serve as a mentor for national and regional staff. SFA will assist with training material, funding, and Capstone projects.
