Apogee is Mach 30’s annual gathering for its volunteers and fans. One part conference, one part public outreach, one part hackathon, and one part party, Apogee has something for everyone. Mach 30 has long held that meeting in person is an essential part of our work and key to accomplishing our mission of hastening humanity into a spacefaring civilization. So, join us in Arlington, VA, this July for a chance to meet your fellow volunteers and the Mach 30 Board in person and to celebrate our shared passion for open source spaceflight. Please check back here often for official announcements about Apogee II.
