ABOUT WAN
Space exploration presents unique challenges that require the combined efforts of many talented individuals, in and outside of STEM careers. WAN strives to support everyone in the aerospace industry as we work together to drive innovation and solve the world's most complex challenges.
NASA Engineer, Holly Pascal, founded WAN after recognizing the need for a supportive community in aerospace after she struggled to find an aerospace network for career growth. This led her to establish WAN to provide a platform for people worldwide making progress in space exploration.
In January 2024, the Women’s Aerospace Network was born out of a demand for community and support among women working in the aerospace industry. We quickly gained over 6,000 subscribers to the world’s first Women’s Aerospace Magazine and a dedicated following of equal size on social media in the first three months. And we continue to grow faster every day.
