Shen Ge, Neha Satak, Virgiliu Pop, Hyerim Kim
The Vision: A Spacefaring Civilization
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
