Maj. Gen. Sejba to Discuss Space Force Innovation at Florida Tech

The Florida Institute of Technology is set to host a free public lecture featuring Maj. Gen. Timothy Sejba on February 19, 2024. This event is part of the prestigious F. Alan Smith Distinguished Lecture Series and will take place at the Gleason Performing Arts Center in Melbourne, Florida, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

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 deliver a talk titled “Three Waves of Space Force-Led Innovation: Transportation To, In, and From Space.” His presentation aims to shed light on how the U.S. Space Force is fostering innovation in crucial areas such as launch, on-orbit operations, and return capabilities. These topics are increasingly vital to national security, commercial spaceflight, and scientific progress.

This lecture offers an opportunity for attendees to engage with one of the senior leaders of the Space Force. Following the presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session, allowing participants to inquire further into the strategic initiatives of the Space Force.

While attendance is complimentary, prior registration is requested. Interested individuals can complete the registration process online to secure their participation.

The F. Alan Smith Distinguished Lecture Series aims to connect the Space Coast community with leading figures in science, technology, policy, and innovation. This initiative reinforces Florida Tech’s strong ties to the evolving space industry and its ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge in these critical fields.

As the U.S. continues to expand its capabilities in space, events like this lecture provide essential insights into the future of space operations and the role of the Space Force in shaping that future.
