We are a non-profit organization dedicated to building an inclusive and supportive community that empowers women to pursue and achieve their career ambitions in the space industry.
Our Mission
Advancing representation, leadership, and visibility in the space industry.
Women In Space (WIS) is dedicated to advancing the representation, leadership, and visibility of women across the space industry. We build an inclusive community that fosters connection, collaboration, and professional growth while celebrating the contributions of women in space exploration, science, and innovation.
What we do
Shaping Representation. Opening Pathways. Advancing Space.
WIS is committed to increasing representation, visibility, and opportunity for women in the space industry through outreach, education, and collaboration. Gender inequality continues to limit access and advancement for women in STEM fields, and we are working to help reduce these barriers within the space industry.
20-22%
Of the global space workforce are women
Why it Matters
Representation Shapes the Future of Space.
Despite decades of progress, women still represent only about 20–22% of the global space workforce. This persistent gap in representation continues to limit opportunity, visibility, and advancement in the space industry (UN News, 2021).
Women In Space is committed to helping close this gap.
