Motiv attended the STEM Fair at Glen A. Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights last weekend to talk to students about what Motiv does and the path to a career in aerospace engineering. We had front-row seats to a robot battle and a good view of a roving dragon, too! #STEM

Last week, @RepJudyChu stopped by to see how the Small Business Innovation Research program allows us to develop new technologies and explore our solar system. Lacie, our COLDArm project engineer, got everyone gowned up to discuss our work with JPL. #space #nasa #aerospace

Thank you for visiting us!
This week, I visited @MotivSS in Pasadena to learn about our local contributions to the space program and how the Small Business Innovation Research program I strongly support is helping our small businesses develop new technologies and keep the U.S. globally competitive.

Debris in #space has become one of the biggest challenges satellite operators face. The FCC recently changed the deorbit limit from 25 to 5 years. To meet the need to capture inoperable spacecraft, Motiv’s #robotic and mechanical systems will be key. bit.ly/3PKLqLo
