Vision through Education

What is SPACE? • The Scientific Preparatory Academy for Cosmic Explorers (SPACE) will – Combine rigorous educational program with hands-on space research and development – Complement the existing graduate space university, the International Space University (ISU), with an undergraduate university – Provide a platform for international collaboration – Develop a roadmap for space habitation

SPACE Model for Education: I 2 H

SPACE Curriculum

SPACE Education

Hands-on Emphasis • The S. P. A. C. E. will provide students with the opportunity to participate in space mission while they are studying. This will be realized by forming collaboration with private and public space industry in three forms: – Research contracts from private space industry – Small space industry incubation – Research contracts from public space organizations

Diversity Emphasis • Diversity is infused at the SPACE through multiple tactics: – Establish university scholarships for citizens of developing areas. – Hire talents from around the world with no preference to particular areas. – Encourage cross-cultural learning by requiring all students to learn at least one other language through their education. – Provide a collaboration platform for private industries and public institutions around the world

Phase III (Component Design Phase) Component Design Special Lectures Component Design Subsystem Integration Component Design Subsystem Integration Final Report Final Review Education Module Full Program Phase I is four weeks long and is composed primarily of lectures, homework, and group exercises in class. Phase III, the last part of the course, comprises the component design phase. Technical Groups will be formed and a Technical Group Leader (TGL) for each will be chosen. Phase II (four weeks long) is the conceptual design phase for the mission using the technical research done in Phase I. The fourth week of Phase II will be dedicated to Preliminary Technical Approach Reviews (PTAR), where each group presents their preliminary designs to the class.
