Space Coast’s new general spearheads more cooperation with private space companies

ORLANDO, Fla. — Brig. Gen. Kristin Panzenhagen wants commercial companies to solve Space Force problems, but if the U.S. Space Force can help them, that’s OK with her, too.

That’s part of the message she delivered at the Space Mobility Conference at the Orange County Convention Center on Tuesday, bringing together a combination of military, civil and commercial players in the space game.

“We’re really trying to focus in on what the warfighters need and take it one step farther,” said Panzenhagen.
