A May 2025 report from the Bay Area Council Economic Institute highlights SRI’s role in advancing space exploration.
In a new report produced by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute and the Council-managed Bay Area Science and Innovation Consortium (BASIC) partnership, SRI is profiled as one of the key organizations contributing to the Bay Area’s outsized role in cultivating space exploration.
The report notes SRI’s impressive work on satellites, telescopes, radar, and antennas. The report also points to SRI’s recent work on optical arrays that enable communication across proliferated Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and SRI’s work delivering CMOS imagers for space missions such as NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter, and NASA’s recently launched Europa Clipper mission.
SRI continues to lay the groundwork for tomorrow’s space economy through strategic investments, tech spinouts like LeoLabs, and advanced R&D.
