Tim Pinkney, NASA Solar System Ambassador, will present the Artemis Space Program. NASA plans to land the first woman and next man on the moon by 2024 using a radically different approach than the Apollo program used over 50 years ago. Artemis I is scheduled to launch later this fall in October 2020.
TIM'S BACKGROUND
While in 8th grade, Tim wanted to be an archaeologist and explore
ancient worlds. Then, he saw his first rocket launch at age 13 and he was
hooked on anything that flew.
After flying off aircraft carriers during 24 years of a Naval Aviation career, now his emphasis is exploring future worlds focusing on the diverse and dramatic discoveries found in our own Solar System.
He was on the Board of the Aerospace Museum of California for over a decade and served as interim Deputy Director there in 2017 and 2018.
In his day job you’ll find him at Luxe Aviation, LLC at McClellan Air Field selling and acquiring aircraft and leasing them for private and corporate clients.
