Space Science offers stellar opportunities

Students of Morehead State’s space science program have the opportunity to be directly involved in space missions to advance NASA’s exploration of deep space and the journey to Mars.

Earlier this week, MSU’s Space Probe Lunar IceCube was selected as one of 13 secondary payloads on NASA’s Space Launch System’s Exploration Mission One (SLS EM-1), set to launch in 2018. The cubesat, built by students and faculty at MSU’s Space Science Center, will explore the location, distribution and movement of water ice on the lunar surface. The tiny satellites are roughly the size of a loaf of bread, but they carry technology that’s as advanced as the technologies carried by other, larger satellites.

As one of only five space science programs in the nation, Morehead State’s space science program gives students the instruction and hands-on skills to prepare them for aerospace careers as they work on projects that will shape the future of space exploration. You’ll be ready for advanced study in graduate school, or a career in space systems development. satellite systems or space communication systems.
