Florida Institute of Technology will host a public lecture by Maj. Gen. Timothy Sejba on February 19, 2024, as part of the F. Alan Smith Distinguished Lecture Series. The event, scheduled from 17:30 to 19:00 at the Gleason Performing Arts Center in Melbourne, Florida, aims to explore the future of U.S. space operations and the innovative efforts led by the U.S. Space Force.
Maj. Gen. Sejba, who previously commanded the Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) and currently serves as Special Assistant to the Vice Chief of Space Operations, will present a talk titled “Three Waves of Space Force-Led Innovation: Transportation To, In, and From Space.” His insights will focus on how the Space Force is enhancing capabilities in launch operations, on-orbit activities, and return capabilities—all vital for national security, commercial spaceflight, and scientific progress.
The lecture is open to the public at no cost, although registration is encouraged to ensure a spot. Those interested can complete the registration online. Following the lecture, attendees will have the chance to engage with Maj. Gen. Sejba during a question-and-answer session, providing a unique opportunity to connect with a leader in the evolving field of space operations.
The F. Alan Smith Distinguished Lecture Series aims to bring together nationally and internationally recognized figures to discuss significant topics in science, technology, policy, and innovation. This series highlights Florida Tech’s strong connections to the Space Coast and its commitment to advancing the space industry.
As the space sector continues to evolve, discussions like these underscore the importance of innovation and collaboration in addressing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
