What is ISU: Philosophy•World space activities have become
increasingly international in nature.•New skills need to be developed and
enhanced in order to manage the engineering, economic, political and organizational aspects of space programs.
•Space professionals of the future need a very broad base of knowledge in order for space programs to succeed and grow.
