Meet Our Keynote speaker KELLIE GERARDI
Kellie Gerardi is a multi-mission research astronaut who became the 90th woman in history to fly to space and one of the world’s first payload specialists to fly on a commercial spacecraft. As a mother, researcher, author, and daily source of inspiration to millions of followers on social media, USA Today calls her “a woman of many successful missions” and named her one of their 2025 Women of the Year.
Kellie served as a payload specialist on the IIAS-01 / Galactic 05 science mission with Virgin Galactic in 2023, during which she conducted biomedical and thermodynamic fluid research in space on behalf of the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences, where she serves as the Director of Human Spaceflight and a microgravity instructor and Test Flight Director. Kellie will lead the IIAS-02 research mission in 2026, and her second spaceflight will advance the scientific knowledge gained from IIAS-01 and introduce novel biomedical research alongside her international IIAS crewmates. Here on Earth, Kellie has tested and matured technologies across more than 150 parabolas in microgravity research flight campaigns, including with MIT, the National Research Council of Canada, and the Canadian Space Agency.
Kellie has been profiled in publications ranging from Glamour to Forbes and has appeared on shows including The Jennifer Hudson Show, The Talk, and CBS Mornings. Her children’s book series Luna Muna has been read from both the International Space Station and the White House.
