About Us.

The VKA Group was developed to bring the wonders of Science and Technology to the public in a manner that was exciting and new. Dr. Valery Aksamentov, Ph.D., the founder of the VKA Group, has over 25 years of professional experience in the aerospace industry. He wanted to share his passion with children so that they may one day share in his interest and be a part of future space exploration. It is with this passion that the concept of the Mobile Marketing and Education Vehicles were developed. The 53 ft long double expandable trailers house interactive stations that are hands-on and create an exciting learning environment for children and adults. The benefit of the trailers is their mobility and the ability to travel the country making stops at events and schools, so that everyone may have the opportunity to learn and experience the wonders of science and technology.
