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: I2H

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

Final ReportFinal Review

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.

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 I is four weeks long and is composed primarily of lectures, homework, and group exercises in class.
