Long Island has a proud history as an aviation and aerospace hub. It has been referred to as the Cradle of Aviation for hosting Charles Lingburgh's trans-Atlantic crossings, and was a construction hub for the Apollo Lunar Lander program.
This proud legacy still shapes the region's story today, as Long Island hosts a significant portion of New York's aerospace research and manufacturing facilities. There is also extensive academic infrastructure in the region. Numerous K-12 districts host planetariums, while extensive space related programming is available at prominent colleges & universities such as Hofstra, Stony Brook, Adelphi, and Nassau Community College.
A series of prominent museums, planetariums, and observatories serve the general public, offering high quality access to space and astronomy in neighborhoods from Syosset to Riverhead.The Brookhaven Lab is a world-class research facility that has been conducting path breaking scientific research (and supporting thousands of jobs) for 75 years. The Lab estimates that every year they enhance the education of 35,000 K-12 students on Long Island, 200 undergraduates, and 500+ teachers nationwide. This is a potent civic sector generating significant human capital for New York's space ecosystem.
Long Islanders can take pride in their space heritage, and have the tools available to ensure their home continues to play an integral role in shaping the future American story in space.
