The Redmond Historical Society is pleased to announce our second Saturday Speaker Series program for the 2024 season by inviting the community to an exciting conversation with Lisa Rich, Founder and COO of Xplore Inc. This event will be held in the Old Redmond Schoolhouse on Saturday, 10:30 AM, March 9, 2024. The event is free to RHS members, with a suggested donation of $5 for non-members.

Lisa Rich will discuss her commercial space company Xplore, designed to collect infinite streams of proprietary data from the XCRAFT®, its next-generation satellite. Her company’s ability to proliferate―and provide access to many types of Earth Observation data―will help solve many global challenges across the commercial sector, national security, environment, nonprofit sector, education, research, the media industry, and more.

She said, “I welcome the opportunity to share knowledge of the space industry and educate community members on the exciting work we are doing at Xplore. We are advancing on our mission to deliver unique Earth Observation data to customers and accelerate the marketplace for space data.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how Redmond’s “Space District” is contributing to our local history!
