The First Edition

Network has expanded rapidly, driven by
the recognition of the need for a supportive
community in and outside of Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) careers in aerospace. With a rapidly
growing community of thousands in this
short span, we’re inspired by the passionate
interest and the formation of an incredible
community. This rapid growth underscores
the evident need for such a network, and
we’re thrilled to be a global community united
by a passion for connection, community and
progress in space exploration.
Adding to our excitement as a newly
established entity, we proudly present the
inaugural issue of Women’s Aerospace
Magazine! As the first of its kind, we aim
for this publication to be the hub for all
things related to the aerospace community,
showcasing the remarkable work being
done in the field. Inside, you’ll discover
enlightening and inspiring stories ranging
from scientists and students to aerospace
speech pathologists and more. Embodying
our slogan of “Space for All,” we believe that
diversity and inclusion are crucial for the
advancement of this field.
But that’s not all—we have something
even more special to share in this issue!
