This program bridges academia (knowledge) with space development skills (know-how) by learning to command and control in-flight space missions under the mentorship of experienced LASP professional researchers.
This program provides hands on experience on space missions in flight. Participants will be trained in mission operations, ground station networks, ground systems for planning and command execution, anomaly management, spacecraft and payload technologies, and flight dynamics. As a multi-disciplinary team, the participants operate in-flight missions, preparing themselves for careers in the industry.
