ARLINGTON, Va., September 23, 2024 – The Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) announced that L3Harris Technologies has continued its outstanding support of AFA’s StellarXplorers Space STEM Program for the seventh consecutive year with a $50,000 donation.

“We are honored to have the continued support of L3Harris,” said Rebecca Dalton, StellarXplorers Director of Operations. “They’ve been with the program since its early stages, and they understand the importance of investing in STEM education opportunities for our nation’s youth.”

The contribution from L3Harris will allow StellarXplorers to promote STEM education opportunities to a wider network of students across the county and encourage the next generation of the space workforce.
