Innovation Hub
powered by VT-ARC
The Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) partnered with the Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporation (VT-ARC) to establish the Innovation Hub at 2424 Garden of the Gods. Through this collaborative initiative, the Innovation Hub will offer a suite of services in a collaborative environment to bring military, academic, and industry personnel together to support SSC’s vision to deliver commercial space capabilities to support global mission priorities and joint warfighters.
VT-ARC delivers tailored analysis, research, and engineering to address problems of national and global importance. Specializing in forming highly collaborative, trusted partnerships across government, industry, and academia, we enable the critical innovations of tomorrow.
