Pittsburgh City Council Declares

"Space Week"

This declaration is a major milestone for the city's growth and development, underscoring how pivotal SpaceBurgh has been in transforming Pittsburgh into a key player in the global space industry. With its cutting-edge work in robotics, engineering, space science, and science fiction, SpaceBurgh has fueled innovation and attracted talent, positioning the city at the forefront of space exploration and technology.
A special thanks to Councilman R. Daniel Lavelle for championing this forward-thinking initiative, which highlights the region's commitment to nurturing the space sector's impact on the local economy and culture.
Be sure to join the festivities at the first-ever SpaceBurgh Festival, which will feature Pittsburgh’s achievements in robotics, astronomy, and more. A highlight of the event will be an appearance by Pittsburgh native and NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg!

SpaceBurgh is excited to announce its partnership with Pittsburgh City Council and local space industry leaders to officially designate October 19-25, 2024, as "Space Week" in Pittsburgh!
