Drum roll please! Presenting—our 2025 Payload Pioneers!

Please join us in congratulating this group of 30 leaders in the space industry under 30 years old. We’re excited for you to explore our list of winners, and have no doubt you’ll be just as impressed with them as we and our judges were. 

We received 140 nominations for our third group of Payload Pioneers, officially making this our biggest year yet! Our panel of three judges (who are all former Pioneers themselves) met virtually to evaluate this year’s candidates based on how well they embodied the criteria of innovation, promotion, and transformation in the space industry.
