Vast Space showcases the Haven-1, planned to be the world's first commercial space station. By August 2025, Vast intends to lanch the station on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to low-Earth orbit. Its ultimate goal is a 100-meter-long multi-module spinning artificial gravity space station.

Astranis aims to provide low-cost communications satellites for commercial and government deployment. The San-Fransico-based business provides 400kg satellites operating from geostationary orbit.

The Sierra Space Ghost, produced by its Axelerator incubator program, is a low-beta re-entry vehicle designed to safely return objects from space – and through space – directly to precise locations on Earth.

The German Experimental Space Surveillance and Tracking Radar (GESTRA) is currently in its commissioning phase, which will last several months. The radar system comprises a transmitting and receiving antenna, each equipped with 256 individual elements when fully loaded and whose radar waves can be phase-controlled, also known as a phased array

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration demonstrates its 'science on a sphere' a display system which projects visualizations of planetary data onto a six-foot diameter sphere to help illustrate Earth System science. 

The data on display is real-time 500mb wind speed and height contours.

Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies business, and partners at ILC Dover and Oceaneering will produce NASA’s next-generation spacesuit. The suit is designed for use on the International Space Station, and later on the moon.

“Astronauts returning to the moon and venturing beyond need a spacesuit that’s as modern as their new missions,” said Dan Burbank, senior technical fellow at Collins Aerospace and former NASA astronaut. “The next-gen spacesuit is lighter, more modular, a better fit and easily adaptable, which means that wherever the journey into space may lead, our crew will be ready.”
