OUR VISION

We will prepare to become spacecraft engineers by learning industry-grade skills, becoming competent leaders, and achieving technological innovations.

Our Mission

We want you to succeed. We want to prepare you to fulfill your dream of working as a space engineer at your dream company. Space exploration has never been bigger and yet more complex. We will help you be ready by giving you space applicable projects that will give you the skills you need to succeed. We start by helping you build your first simple satellite or “Femtosat” that will be launched 200 feet high and transmit data to the ground. Later we will give you bigger opportunities through bigger and bigger projects and you could have the opportunity to work at the MERS Lab.
