The past year was a transformational one for the Space Foundation. During 2012, we realized the accomplishment of some long-term goals; became a more diverse and global organization; launched new projects that will serve us for years to come; and faced some unprecedented challenges. Let’sgettheunpleasantriesoutofthewayfirst:Onthelocalfront,weweatheredthedevastatingWaldoCanyonfire,whichcamedangerouslyclosetoourheadquarters,personally affected many of our team members and deeply affected our community. On the national front, we watched as our partnersstruggled with budget cuts, political infighting, spacepolicyuncertaintyand the threatofevenmoresignificantrestrictions and cutbacks in 2013. We are working closely withelectedofficialsandgovernmentorganizationstostaveoff the kind of draconian actions that could have a chilling effect on U.S. space endeavors. Never before has our mission of advancing space-related endeavors to inspire, enable and propel humanity been more important. Despite last year’s tough economic and political environment, it was a good year for space and a good year for us. The 28th National Space Symposium was the largest and most diverse in our history, with almost 40 nations represented, more than 9,000 participants and a mind-boggling array of speakers and associated events. The Space Report 2012, which we released in April, showed that the global space economy continues to grow – and that more and more nations are becoming spacefarers. This trend, coupled with our aggressive international outreach, has madeusatrulyglobalorganization–afactthat isreflectedineveryprogramweoffer, every event we organize and every decision we make about our future. The future continues to be of utmost importance to us. That’s why we devote considerable resources to educate the workforce of tomorrow. That’s why our New Generation Space Leaders Initiatives continue to grow. And, that’s why one of the many long-term objectives we achieved in 2012 was the release of PIONEERING: Sustaining U.S. Leadership in Space. This well-researched, carefully constructed report lays out what we believe is the best path for NASA’s future – a plan that will strengthen the U.S. civil space program and, in so doing, greatly improve the global outlook for space exploration and utilization. uuu

Another long-term dream realized was the opening of our Visitors Center – a world-class facility that comprises the Northrop Grumman Science Center with its glorious Science On a Sphere® and the El Pomar Space Gallery that exhibits just a small fraction of our space artifacts collection. The process of creating and opening this facility at our Colorado Springs world headquarters brought us closer to our community, to our corporate members and benefactors and to each other. And the most exciting part is that it’s just the beginning. There’s a whole lot more to come. The opening of the Northrop Grumman Science Center changed the complexion of our education endeavors as well. We made a commitment early on that our Science On a Sphere would be more than just a tourist attraction (although, believe me, it is that, too!). We use it as the centerpiece for a series of classes that we call Sphere that represent our first major large-scale direct-to-students space-based science, technology, engineering and mathematics (S-STEM) program. And, just like our other dreams, it’s just the beginning. These programs and this facility have laid the groundwork for future expansion including a teaching facility with distance-learning capabilities that will extend our reach around the globe. As you read through this Annual Report, you’ll be amazed at the quantity and caliber of things we accomplished – all a testament to our extraordinary team. They grew and matured as we accomplished milestone after milestone in 2012. We all learned new skills. We forged new relationships. We added and promoted many team members. I was particularly pleased to promote Chuck Zimkas from chief operating officer to president in recognition of his combined Air Force and Space Foundation experience and accomplishments. For the Space Foundation, 2012 could be characterized as difficult or triumphant. We choose triumphant.

A Global Advocate and EducatorThe Space Foundation is a global, nonprofit organization and the foremost advocate for all sectors of the space industry. We were founded in 1983 in Colorado Springs, Colo., where we are based today. We are a leader in space awareness activities, major industry events, space-related educational enterprises and space-related research.

Our programs and initiatives educate and raise awareness about the importance and impact of the space industry:• Education Programs: We are building the

next generation of space leaders and improving the overall quality of education through teacher, student and community programs that use space

themes to build interest and skills in space-based science, technology, engineering and mathematics (S-STEM). Our Visitors Center serves as an education facility and helps build understanding and support of space among the general public.

• Meetings and Symposia: We bring parties engaged in space together to network, discuss issues, exhibit the latest technologies and learn about the industry; our events include the world-renowned National Space Symposium.

• Public Policy and Government Affairs Programs: We improve understanding of space issues and create a better environment for constructive space policy dialog through briefings, information sessions and formal testimony for policy- and decision-makers. uuu

s u s t A I n I n g u . s . l e A D e R s H I p I n SPACEPioneering:

The result of more than a year of in-depth research and analysis, the Space Foundation’s report, PIONEERING: Sustaining U.S. Leadership in Space, makes recommendations for revitalizing NASA and

creating a stronger U.S. civil space program. Released at a high-level event in Washington, D.C., in December, the report was distributed to policymakers, corporate members and the media. It has sparked dialog that we hope will, ultimately, reinvigorate U.S. commitment and accomplishment in the space arena. Among the bold changes recommended by the Space Foundation are:

• EstablishingpioneeringasNASA’ssingular,compellingpurposeandtransitioningotheractivities to other government and privatesectororganizations.

• Realigning the national civil spaceenterprise soNASA is no longer perceivedas being responsible for “all things space”andinsteadconcentratesonexpandingthenationalcivilspaceenterprise.

• Stabilizing NASA leadership and increasingthe agency’s autonomy by appointing theNASAAdministratorforfixed,five-yearterms.

• Stabilizing NASA planning with anobjectives-based10-yearplanandabroad30-year strategic plan, to be reviewed byCongresseveryfiveyears.

• ExpandingoptionsavailabletoCongressforfundingNASA.

• CarryingoutanarrayoftaskstomakeNASAmoreeffective, leveraginganewcultureofpioneering.

The 70-page report is based on historicalresearchandinterviewswithnearly100spaceleaders.

Pioneering DoctrinePioneering - the proposed purpose for NASA- is defined as being among those who first enter a region to open it for use and development by others. If followed, theproposed “Pioneering Doctrine” will bring agreater portion of spacewithin the sphere ofregular human activity, including commercialendeavors,researchortravel.Thedoctrinesetsforth four phases for expanding the humansphereofinfluence:• Access - developing the ability to get toandfromtargeteddestinations.

• Exploration-learningaboutdestinationsinordertoplanforsubsequentmissions.

• Utilization-turningtheoreticalknowledgeinto technology that justifies continued,longer-termactivityatthedestinations.

• Transition-handingofftheknowledgeandcapabilities developed through pioneeringto other government organizations orthe private sector for further long-termengagement.

In addition to the support we receive from our corporate members, we also depend upon the generosity of a wide variety of contributors. Over the past few years, we have made great strides in actively enlarging our donors and benefactors.

Our donors help us engage the public in one of the most inspirational endeavors ever undertaken by humankind – space exploration. Their generosity improves the STEM education environment by helping teachers teach and students learn. And, they make it possible for us to help policymakers understand the importance of space exploration to all of us.

In 2012, contributions to the Space Foundation helped us• Createanddelivereducationandawarenessprograms• Buildourcollectionofirreplaceablespaceartifactsandsharethemwith
