Anderson, USAF (Ret.), to serve as the Deputy Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This nomination reflects a career defined by leadership, service, and an unwavering commitment to advancing U.S. space capabilities. “Congratulations to SFA’s Chief Growth Officer, Matt Anderson, for his nomination to be the Deputy Administrator of NASA,” said Bill Woolf, Founder and CEO of the Space Force Association. “Matt was volunteer #1 at the Space Force Association and has been a tireless champion for the United States Space Force and the broader space domain. His nomination is a testament to his visionary leadership, operational excellence, and deep understanding of both national defense and civil space priorities.” With more than 24 years of distinguished service in the U.S. Air Force, culminating in the rank of Colonel, Anderson brings unparalleled insight to this pivotal role.
