Space Industry for Ukraine (SIFU)

In response to Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, leaders of the space community–key players in defense, national security space, and cutting-edge technology–rallied together to announce a new initiative, SIFU, intended to address the most immediate humanitarian needs in-country.

Spearheaded by NSSA Executive Director, Steve Jacques, and CEO of HawkEye 360, John Serafini, SIFU was established to fund and execute high-value projects that create maximum impact with minimal overhead.
