TULSA, Okla. \u2014 Quantum Space is expected to make a major announcement today that could reshape Tulsa’s role in the growing space industry \u2014 and all eyes will be on the Air and Space Museum.<\/p>\n

While the specifics of the announcement are not public yet, the company recently named Jim Bridenstine as its new CEO. <\/p>\n

Bridenstine previously served as NASA administrator. Under his leadership, NASA launched its new human lunar exploration mission, the Artemis program.<\/p>\n

Last week, Bridenstine joined Tulsa leaders for a panel discussion hosted by the Tulsa Regional Chamber, where he made the case that space is no longer just about rockets and astronauts.<\/p>\n

“Your banking app, the power in your home, even your cell phone all rely on satellites orbiting above us.”<\/p>\n

Bridenstine warned America’s adversaries are actively targeting those systems \u2014 and the stakes could not be higher for everyday life. <\/p>\n

The Space Force is investing $71 billion into defense efforts, and Oklahoma, he said, is positioned to play a key role.<\/p>\n
