We are the Portland State Aerospace Society (PSAS), an interdisciplinary, student-led group at Portland State University, that built Oregon’s first and second satellite, both which are in orbit. PSAS works closely with students, non-profit organizations, companies, and schools both in and outside of Oregon to also promote STEAM education, one of which is our Pacific Northwest Aerospace Expo (PNWAE).

The PNWAE is a yearly event held by PSAS at Portland State University since 2019. What was once a small, intimate gathering of local aerospace industry professionals and enthusiasts has become better than ever with remarks from Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley in previous years. We've also had esteemed guest speakers from NASA, John Hopkins APL and other instructions join us for remarkable talks.

Although we are a hybrid event, this year we are having in-person booths, to which other universities, colleges, and science organizations such as Oregon State University, OES Aerospace, etc. are coming to table and participate.
